As conscious as I am of the fact that superlatives are vastly overused, and as conscious as I am of the fact that people starting articles mentioning that they don't like to use superlatives then frequently go on to binge with them, and as conscious as I am that this is a run-on sentence which would have gotten me poor marks in school, I am about ready to declare the BBC's The Office the best show ever.
I will admit that I am yet to see the final special episodes (which I have demanded from my parents for Christmas for being such a good atheist Christian); however, the show would have to fall a long way to fail.
I was a bit doubting at first and might not have seen it if it weren't for some guy named Arun telling me to rent it because some guy named Andy told him it was great. Most popular shows are horrific, with Everybody Loves Raymond and any reality show most recently proving this point. In fact, most popular anything is horrific. "It is like when people say no really you are famous, that is a compliment. That is no fucking compliment. Himmler was famous as well." So says Martin Freeman, of The Office, a show which the general population was surprisingly right about.
Well, the general British population I mean. Are they smarter than "us"? Let's look at that question through the looking glass of the bad teeth stereotype. On one hand, the British are being ignorant of the fact that not maintaining one's teeth is both non-hygienic and unappealing. On the other hand, they seem to be putting the importance of mind above body, which could be the next great step in evolution if we are to survive long enough to evolve.
What's that? The blueprint show for American Idol was a British show called Pop Idol? Then f it. We're all doomed.
