After the Super Bowl, an episode of The Office aired, where they had CPR training for a scene. It was really incredible, and featured proper CPR instruction at times. The CPR class include using the BeeGee’s Stayin’ Alive to use the beat to match the proper rhythm of 100 beats per minute.
The episode was titled “Stress Relief” and you can watch the CPR portion here.

[...] CPR on The Office (after the Super Bowl) (ProCPR Blog) [...]
I admit, I’m not a fan of “The Office.” But I watched “ER” for all 15 seasons, and hardly missed an episode in all that time. Obviously I loved the show. Yet, as an EMT and an authorized provider of American Red Cross classes (with 24 years of teaching experience), I was appalled by how poorly they pretended to do CPR. After writing to the producers, I did notice an improvement in their television performance. We need to speak up when we see something that sets such a poor example for the viewing public. Who knows, we could save a life!
it is supposed to be poorly done, thats whats funny… and i dont think people are tuning in to the office to learn about CPR
