Keep in mind "The Office" was originally on in the UK, vastly different from what the US version ended up being, but was similar in the first season which is why many didn't like it at the time.

The US version adopted the same format and characters from the UK original, but also comparatively turned it into Zombie Simpsons.
The Ricky Gervais OG ran for 2 seasons of 14 episodes total.
The Steve Carrell remake ran for 9 seasons and 201.
