The Office
The Office premiered on NBC in March 2005 as an American adaptation of the British series of the same name created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and it followed a documentary-crew mockumentary format centered on the mundane daily lives of employees at the fictional Dunder Mifflin paper company. The American version, developed by Greg Daniels, gradually diverged from its darker British source material into a warmer, more optimistic tone centered on Steve Carell's performance as regional manager Michael Scott, a shift that helped it build a devoted audience across nine seasons. The show experienced a remarkable second life through streaming, becoming one of the most-watched series on Netflix years after its original broadcast run ended, driven significantly by a generation of viewers discovering or rewatching it well after its 2013 finale. The Office's combination of its successful transformation from a British source format into a distinctly American workplace comedy and its outsized streaming-era popularity has made it one of the most enduringly beloved sitcoms of the 21st century.
VS
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered on Fox in 2013, created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, following the detectives of a fictional Brooklyn police precinct in a workplace comedy format, and it starred Andy Samberg as a talented but immature detective clashing with his by-the-book new captain. The show's casting of Andre Braugher as Captain Raymond Holt, a gay Black police captain whose deadpan delivery became one of the series' most celebrated comedic elements, represented a notably different kind of authority-figure character than typical sitcom police captains. Following Fox's cancellation after its fifth season, a significant social media campaign from fans and other television figures helped drive NBC to pick the show up for additional seasons, becoming a widely cited example of fan advocacy directly influencing a network's programming decisions. Brooklyn Nine-Nine's combination of its genuinely groundbreaking central authority-figure character and its fan-driven revival after cancellation has made it one of the more culturally notable comedy series of the 2010s.
