Hello there. This is the second of three episodes of my new podcast, The Best Worst,

that I will be putting on this feed to, so you can listen to them and see if you like it.

This is a show I am making with Meg Bashmner, who is the voice of Deb the Sending, Patrick Hayes,

and the voice of the credits. And in it, we consider classic TV shows by watching first the worst

and then the best IMDB user-rated episodes.

So it's a fun way to see at how these shows varied over the years and what sort of wild episodes they made once they got really deep in the show and were running out of things to do.

Please enjoy.

Music out really deep in the show and we're running out of things to do. Please enjoy. Hello and welcome to the best worst, a celebration of the best and the worst of the television we love.

Hello, I am Joseph Fink, the Pam of this podcast.

And I am Meg Bashwinner, the gym of this podcast.

And we love TV.

So we created the show to explore what we love about popular TV shows by watching both the best rated and worst viewer rated episodes

of a quintessential series. Because people are yearning these days for the way television

used to be before, you know, streamers destroyed it. And so we wanted to look at why that kind of

television worked. We follow a set of rules for the show, so each show must have at least 100 episodes,

and we are excluding series premieres and series fineries because those tend to have inflated

ratings, and we're looking to watch the television show at its absolute best, not at its

most important or cliffhangery.

Let's get to today's show. What is today's show?

Today's show is the office. The office. The office, which ran from like peak dorm room TV

watching time for us, uh, 2005 to 2013. IMDB says it has 188 episodes and Wikipedia says

it has 201 episodes. So it says it has 201 episodes.
