Time-lehti listasi 100 parasta telkkariohjelmaa ja kuinka ollakaan myös Konttori mahtuu listalle. Tarkennuksena sanottakoo, että sekä amerikkalainen että brittiläinen, vaikka toimittajan oma suosikki onkin amerikkalaisversio. Koko listan voi tarkastaa täältä.

"This remake ditched the melancholy of the BBC original (q.v.) in favor of a cheekier rebellliousness: a little less Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, a little more Office Space. It also has a deeper, diverse bench of characters, including schoolmarmish Angela, chatty Kelly, cold-hearted Ryan, creepy Creed, angry Andy and screw-you-guys clock-puncher Stanley. The carryover stories have been complicated as well, especially the Pam and Jim romance, which has allowed Pam more of an inner life and self-discovery. Still, I'd pay to see an alternate-universe scenario where Dwight Schrute meets Gareth. (And just so you don't think I wimped out by including both on the list: I like it better than the BBC version. Let the fighting begin!)"
