If you enjoy the mockumentary style of “The Office” (which we’ll get to later), then you’ll adore “Parks and Recreation.” Set in the fictional town of Pawnee, this sitcom follows the enthusiastic and often clueless Leslie Knope (played by the amazing Amy Poehler) as she tries to make her local government department a better place.
As the great Andy gave us something to ponder on “Windows are the eyes of the house.” Getting the idea?

Nonetheless, you’d stay hooked to the craziness the gang brings.
5. The Office (2005 – 2013)
Now, I couldn’t possibly create a list like this without mentioning the iconic workplace comedy that is “The Office.” Set in the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, this mockumentary-style show takes a hilarious and sometimes cringe-worthy look at the lives of office employees.
