This anniversary kind of snuck up on me, but here’s a fun milestone to note for the TV fans out there. This month marks the 15th anniversary of the US debut of The Office, the workplace comedy shot in a mockumentary style which influenced so much of the TV that came after — everything from Parks and Rec to Modern Family. Plenty of others do that same thing of having the characters talk directly to the camera, as if to some unseen character, but it was, of course, The Office that really had the most fun with that format and over the course of nine seasons made us fall in love with an otherwise normal bunch of Pennsylvania-based office drones in the employ of a paper company.
The Office is one of those shows where, for the people who loved and still love it, they … really, really love it. From Facebook groups to trivia nights around the country to so much more, fandom around the show is still alive and well — so much so that Dish (yes, that Dish) has decided to tap into that deep well of appreciation for the show to offer what for some of you will sound like a dream gig. The main requirement: You can get paid $1,000 for … just binge-watching the show! Fifteen hours of it, to be exact.
