I didn't get where I am today...
Feb. 24th, 2009 08:45 pm... without being a big fan of Britcom The Fall And Rise of Reginald Perrin. A satire about a mid-level manager in a dysfunctional office ("Sunshine Desserts -- They're flan-tastic!"), it used to be a regular repeat on PBS. It's finally being released on DVD in North America in May.
The show is much less cringe-inducing than The Office, largely because the R.P. characters are much more over-the-top and played for laughs. (The original book that the series was based on is much darker.) I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
