Check out all our lists for BuddyTV's Top 7 of '07 to relive the best and the worst of the year in television.


Oscar Dahl ranked The Office 1st.  He says...


The Office, despite being a hit just the way it is, decided to not be scared of change. Jim and Pam are a couple, Ryan is now Michael's boss, Jan turned into a psychopath, and Dwight killed Angela's cat. The season 3 finale delivered on all levels, and finally appeased "Jam" hopeful across the world. But, most importantly, the series remains laugh-out loud funny at every turn. The Office has already established itself as the best network comedy of the decade and has only gained steam throughout its four seasons. 2007 may have been its best year yet.

Gina Scarpa ranked The Office 1st.  She says...

I have no problem admitting it: I am addicted to The Office. I look forward to every Thursday night whether it's a new episode or a repeat. I own all the seasons on DVD and quote it every opportunity I get. Yes, I'm a superfan. Since the beginning, the show's plot has relied heavily on Pam and Jim – a will they or won't they sort of thing. When the two got together in the beginning of season 4, The Office proved that they didn't need to regurgitate Ross/Rachel to us to keep us interested.

New relationships formed that provided plenty of laughs from Dwight and Angela to Kelly and Darryl. The background characters have gotten more screen time and some of the show's most classic moments have come from them. Andy realized he was dating a high school student, Kelly moved on from Ryan, Angela dealt with the murder of her cat, Phyllis got married, and Ryan became Michael's boss. The last new episode made before the writers' strike was “The Deposition” and it is Steve Carell's finest performance. Give him the Emmy – and give me more episodes of The Office!

Debbie Chang ranked The Office 4th.  She says...

The Office is definitely the funniest thing on TV today. Everyone in the cast consistently brings a perfectly tuned performance, each playing off the other. The Office has some of the most underrated actors in its cast, each consistently bringing perfectly tuned performances every week.

One of my favorite moments was when Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) sings ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" to Angela (Angela Kinsey), accompanied by his Cornell a cappella group on speakerphone. And how can I forget Stanley, who counters Dwight's (Rainn Wilson) offer of Shrute Bucks with a billion Stanley nickels if he never talks to him again. Or how about anytime Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) opens her mouth? In fact, almost every moment of The Office is so memorable that it's hard not to go on and on and on about it.
