"I added The Office, meaning the US version (I haven't seen the UK version, so I can't recommend it).
I was going to suggest Burn Notice instead, but I love that show so much that I was afraid to hold it up to scrutiny. I know it's got shortcomings, but if you don't analyze it, it's a lot of fun. I'd highly recommend Burn Notice, though.
The Office is more traditional of a show, sort of. The first season sucks, but you've got to watch it to understand who's who. From there, the second season is excellent and it only gets better from there. Luckily, the first season is only about 6 episodes, I think." - flammable
