About The Project
"Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica" — Jim Halpert
The Office is a documentary-style television comedy that is hugely popular in the US. Set in the city of Scranton, PA, it follows the working lives of a diverse and often eccentric set of characters.
The purpose of this analysis is to determine what made for the most popular seasons and episodes, as well as take a closer look at the dialogue to determine if there are any common patterns found across the episodes and major characters.
The datasets for this project were found on Kaggle:
