It's still brilliant, IMO.
Hey, never said there weren't reasons to like it. Just said I couldn't get into it.

George was my favorite character. I rooted for him sometimes. Although, along those lines, you think I'd like Larry. But I dunno, I just don't. He pisses me off.

The George-fiancee thing was so over the top you couldn't take it seriously. Didn't bother me. Maybe it's the mockumentary style, or maybe Larry just isn't a good actor, but I just can't get behind the character. The funny thing is I usually like that kinda style. I liked both versions of The Office.

Or maybe all the jokes have been done before.
