Aahhh...you refer to my earlier comment. I didn't pass judgement on how good/bad The Smiths are. The truth is I think they're great. But they ARE depressing. No getting away from that. For me, who exists in perpetual depression, that suits me fine.
Again, on The Office, I don't think it's everyone's thing. You have to appreciate the subtelty of it and it's powers of observation. There's lots of different types of comedy, and not everyone's into the same kinds. I happen to think the writing is genius. But hey, only every critic and half the population of Britain agree with me. :)
