I swear this show gets better every rewatch. My wife thinks I'm insane but there's something comforting about it. Started it over Saturday night and now I can't stop.
Nothing wrong with that man. With my schedule being crazy with coaching and work, rewatching familiar shows is how I actually relax.
The Office is my comfort show too. There's something about rewatching that just hits when the chaos of three kids is getting to me.
Saturday night rewatches are peak dad life. My wife judges me for the same thing but honestly who cares, it works.
The Office is comfort food for the brain at this point. I've watched it through probably seven times now and I still catch jokes I missed before. Your wife will come around, eventually everyone realizes it's the perfect background show that you can actually pay attention to.
I get it. There's something about a show you know so well that you don't have to think too hard about. After work chaos and dealing with three kids all day, my brain needs that low-effort entertainment. The Office just hits different on a rewatch.

Not insane at all. When you have a baby that won't sleep, The Office reruns become your best friend at 3am. There's comfort in knowing exactly what's going to happen and not having to focus too hard. Your wife will understand eventually when she needs that same comfort.
