The Office has become one of the most popular American television shows of all time.This was accomplished by two things combined, groundbreaking content as well as streaming services providing the content to larger audiences even after the show, was off the air. #373F20 @cfuchstv
Creators and writers of the show created groundbreaking new content for American television by exploring new genres like the "mockumentary" style sitcom as well as different forms of comedy such as "cringe comedy". #373F20 @cfuchstv https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-office-why-fans-love-the-cringe-comedy-element-even-though-its-so-uncomfortable-to-watch.html/
While the show didn't immediately hit the ground running, the content eventually took off and became what we all love today. It took viewers time to get invested in the incredible plotlines between characters and their everyday lives. #373F20 @cfuchstv
The slow-burn relationship between Jim and Pam is one main aspect that originally kept viewers watching. It was some of the content that the show is most well known for. The love story between both characters gave viewers something to have hope in making them invested. #373F20
The other reason why the show is still so popular is thanks to Netflix. Netflix put the show on its service and has been able to reach more people and younger audiences. It has continued to grow even more popular after it had its season finale in 2013. https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2019/06/26/office-was-always-popular-netflix-made-it-phenomenon/
Overall, both the phenomenal content of the show itself along with the fact that it can be streamed to a much wider audience seven years later have made The Office one of the most popular American sitcoms. It has made a huge lasting effect on the way television is now made.
