may not of been the first, but definitely made it popular
Oh most definitely but people always attribute a mockumentary to the office like they made it or something. Reno 911 and modern family was doing it too. Modern family was popular af. They used to get all the awards back in the day

Watched the first couple of episodes & it's a solid show , but it's definitely blatant ripoff of the office.:ehh:

Everything from the fidgety camera angles & zoom ins to the monologues & coworker dynamic.

To be fair, Modern Family started airing in 2009, after The Office became popular. That's the reason NBC rejected it because they already had enough single-camera shows.

Even cac tomato’s gave it a 99 or 100. It’ll def get another season.

Especially since it’s about teachers, you don’t get many shows capturing them in this type of style.

After the Office, I can’t fukk with these workplace/cam comedies anymore. They all feel the same with different characters.

I checked the pilot and got some laughs, but it’s a show that didn’t pull me in. :manny:
