Yeah, The Office hasn't really aged well, but it is what kick-started so many of those actors' careers. Like Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Ed Helms, Rainn Wilson, etc. I think that's part of why so many people like it. That and nostalgia.

I will say Parks & Rec is probably way better in terms of how characters are, and their growth. Like Aubrey Plaza starts out as an annoying bitch but as the show progresses, she learns to be more open about her feelings and such.

Parks is just more americanized, it isn't "better". Later seasons of The Office look and feel much more like it, as the writers pandered more and more to mainstream audiences
