...just the other Office anymore. The remake of the great British sitcom has found its own voice, satirizing the culture of coffee, cubicles and Chili's with heart and laser precision. The deep bench of its cast provides a pointillistic taxonomy of American office life (who doesn't work with an Angela, a Kevin or a Stanley?). And the wistful Pam-and-Jim almost-romance--all together now: Awww!--threatens to give the Sam-and-Diane saga a run for its long-unconsummated money...

That camaraderie takes a break when the poker game does and the boys turn to playing video games. Renee made chili dogs for them to nosh on, but the food is all but ignored as the teens rush to the living room to feed what seems to be their true addiction: Guitar Hero on PlayStation 2 and Mario Superstar Baseball on Nintendo GameCube, which they simultaneously start up on two adjacent...
