I have only seen the Office and Extras. Extras was maybe a little lesser because of the ridiculous spectacle that goes with a show about rich celebrities acting like pricks, which is a boring topic (see Curb). But The Office more often than not comes off as a straight documentary of how regular peop...

Embarrassed to say I don't know a great deal about his foreign policy, but he basically established the federal interest in land preservation for its own sake. Given the absence of free right of passage across private property in the rural U.S., I'm very happy this happened. Teddy gets a NC.
