The Office
and Ideology
The Office
is NBC’s top rated comedy program.
The show airs on Thursdays at
8:00 eastern and has grown a huge fan following.
The Office’s target audience seems to
range from senior high school students to adults in their mid-40s.
The show’s setting is
that of a common company office filled with seemingly “normal” workers who, like
people in the real world, just want to get through the workday.
The Office
thrives on its
ever-present dry humor and awkward moments.
The show is relatable to most middle
class white Americans who work in the same environment five days a week.
The Office
’s
ability to relate to its audience and the show’s constant nonchalant attitude has made it
one of the most awarded and watched television programs in the nation.
The Office
’s cast is made up of mostly white characters, but the show does
contain a wide range of minorities (African American, Indian, Mexican), however most
of the African American characters are found working in the supply room rather than the
office.
