Not every show that the UK sends across the pond becomes a success, but The Office sure did. Many fans of the British TV show were skeptical of the idea that the same sort of humor could work in an American office, but they were quickly proven wrong. The Office premiered in the United States in 2005 and held on for nine critically acclaimed seasons. The show was adapted by Greg Daniels and had a much-loved cast, including Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer.
