#6. The Office
NBC

Jim hooked up with Pam, and the show lived to tell the tale. In its third year, the sitcom deftly played the office love triangle (sorry, Team Karen), balanced wackiness and poignancy and pulled off the brilliant flip-the-script move of promoting temp Ryan to become Michael's corporate boss. Its roster of supporting characters is as broad, delightful and well-drawn as any ensemble drama's. You don't have to be crazy not to watch this show, but it would help.
