I have to confess, during the first few episodes of this series, I thought, there's no way this is real, and that the protagonist, Ronald, also has to be a professional actor. Things just didn't add up in my mind. In fact, by the third episode, I was ready to bail. However, I decided to stick with it because the entertainment value was there as was the humor. Recently, during an episode of Colbert, Marsden made a guest appearance, stating that Jury Duty was essentially The Office meets The Truman Show. I can think of nothing that summarizes it more appropriately. What really struck me, however, was the final episode. I found myself grinning the entire time often with tears in my eyes. I would never have anticipated that the finale would affect me on such an emotional level. Ultimately, I'm glad I stayed. It was well worth it.
