Büro, Büro


Büro, Büro is a German comedy television series.

Plot summary

The series' plot revolves around the everyday life at Lurzer KG, a small firm producing gym equipment. It deals with both the personal relationships among the staff and the highs and lows of running a business. The latter topic includes rationalisation, incorporation into an American holding company, and having to move the office several times.
Running gags in the show include the constant personal absence of the company's manager, Mr. Lurzer, and that the attempts of his subordinate executives - especially personnel manager Dr. Herbert Brokstedt, and his successor Dr. Adalbert-Wilhelm Schmitt-Lausitz - to motivate the rest of the staff tend to produce anything but the desired effect.
The title sequence is known for its use of the melody "The Typewriter" by Leroy Anderson, which featured in the Jerry Lewis film Who's Minding the Store?.
