The Documentary of "The Office"

How come The Office never acknowledges that they are a reality show? Clearly the show is shot in documentary format, and during the first couple of seasons each episode took place on a Friday, supposedly in a progression, one Friday to the next and so on.

So why don't they ever talk about the DVDs being released? Or the impact the viewers have made on Jim and Pam's relationship? Because if it truly were a reality show, especially one on BRAVO, you can bet your toosh that there'd be a 'text-in' portion about 3/4 of the way through each episode.

DO YOU THINK JIM SHOULD ASK PAM OUT EVEN THOUGH SHE'S ENGAGED TO ROY? YES- TEXT 12328 TO 32948. RESULTS ONLINE AT BRAVOTV.COM!

This has been bothering me for years, and finally I have an outlet! Has this bothered anyone else or am I just another film major who's taken TV a tad too far?
