They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

how can you say that The Office is better than B99? For you see,

  • Of the seven main characters, only two are white men

  • Of these two men, one has dozens of hobbies which includes local food critic, sewing, yoga, and other traditionally non-masculine interests

  • The other seems to be a stereotypical overconfident jerk, however most of his arcs revolve around messing up and having to acknowledge and genuinely apologize for his screwups

  • One of the main characters is a middle aged gay man who isn’t a TV stereotype, who is married and lovingly committed, bringing up his husband in casual conversation throughout the show without it being the only important thing about his personality

  • Every female character has a distinct personality, goals and fears and aspirations, and all have multiple episodes focusing solely on exploring their characters and development

  • GINA MOTHERFUCKING LINETTI

  • Terry Crews as a big buff doting father

  • Humor that never relies on offensive jokes or stereotypes, that is genuinely funny with great comedic timing

  • Multiple accounts of close friendships between men and women without any implications that there will be more

  • The few relationships that do exist between the main cast are developed naturally over time

As much as I wanted to like B99 (am currently at season 3), I really hate the fans for this kind of shit (look at my show it's so politically correct and so diverse so it's a good show).
