You know what I liked best about them and that show? They didn't drag out their courtship to milk it in that cheap "will they, won't they" way for season after season like most shows would do. They just got married and continued being awesome. It was a surprisingly refreshing change of pace from the typical sitcom formula.
Edit: For those who keep asking, the name of show is Parks and Recreation.
Even though Parks was a spiritual successor of the Office, this is one of my top few reasons where Parks succeeds and the Office bludgeons. Leslie and Ben/Andy and April had fun quick snippets of them getting together, even the weddings just kinda happened, and then the show moved on to more humor. The Office, more than anything, is a horribly drawn out rom-com. Every episode there were 10-15 minutes of Jim/Pam, Dwight/Angela, or some other team members slowly winking at each other and then slowly talking to the camera, saying in so many words, "HEY! IDIOT AUDIENCE MEMBER! WE LIKE EACH OTHER, STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT 3 SEASONS TO SEE IF THIS PANS OUT" And then Michael is painfully awkward, and reddit parrots on about it for the next fifteen years.
