gotta agree with that.

i watched the original english Office way before the US office came out and there is nothing like it.

WAY better than the US version.

Not a brit- but I can't even make it through a single episode of the American version.

Ricky Gervais FTW.

the brit one is the original and better for being original - remaking something with a totally different audience as your target is never gonna work i don't think.
imagine taking xx and changing most of the cast, then re-writing it with brit audience in mind - it would almost definitely be a load of shite
i was going to replace the xx with the name of a show but i typed "american comedy" into google and it said error.

has some mildly funny moments but Gervais is genius and the original could never be beaten.

I was very suprised when they announced he was starting a US version - i though it was a joke to be honest, but fair play to him for sticking it out and its obviously popular its been running longer than the british classic
