A sign welcoming visitors to the city of Scranton, Pa., is shown Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2006. The NBC series "The Office" has given Scranton, a small industrial city 100 miles north of Philadelphia where the hit comedy is set, the kind of national exposure that Chamber of Commerce types can only dream about.

I didn't realize this would be such a boost to Scranton. You can tell the show tries to be authentic, with the way they pronounce "Scranton" and the little things, such as the Froggy stickers. It's cool that they work with the city to get props for the show!

This is one the best shows on TV right now, right up there with 24 and LOST. I was so disappointed that the Olympics prevented them from airing new episodes. Even with my TiVo recording each episode, I still buy each one off the iTunes "Music" Store so I can watch them on the go on my iPod.

I have been waiting for the Office to return. It truly is one of the best shows on TV right now. While Steve Carrel is absolutely hilarious, the supporting cast and writers deserve equal credit. NBC took a chance on this show by renewing it and it has paid off big time.

I love the show! I think part of the success could be it put itself on iTunes to be downloaded and reached some people that might not have tuned in. I know I downloaded several episodes.
