I'll have to check out this series... sounds pretty good.

the US series might be funny... i'll have to wait and see. remember NegaC, the US version of The Office is wildly popular here. it's definitely one of my favorite shows. I've watched the british version many times over, but honestly, the US version is better.

you Brits get me all confused when you talk about the "series". :p We call it a season. Here, a series refers to the whole show itself.

I refer to them as seasons when talking about American shows that have alot (20-30) of episodes per season (ie. Simpsons), but I say series when talking about Brit shows that often have only 6-8 shows per series (ie. IT Crowd). Bit confusing.. meh.

Anyway, while the US office is good in it's own right, it's just not the same as the original Office. It's very 'Americanised', not necessarily a bad thing but it just hasn't got the same humour and subtleties the original Office had. I wouldn't say either one is better than the other.

I suppose it could work but as is the case with The Office, it won't be the same show anymore. To be honest, I see it going the way the US Red Dwarf did.. *shudder*.

British humour is such an acquired taste that many foreigners completely miss most of the irony and subtleties, which are the best bits!

The more I experience life, the more I realise the truth of this statement. A US version of the Office ? Oh dear.

Luckily a mate taped the first episode of this new season of the IT Crowd, so I'll be able to see it tomorrow as soon as I can get the video from him ! :D

I had that thought when they announced the American Office and I thought it was suck more then Paris Hilton but its now such a big success I thought wrong so an American IT Crowd could be good.

i understand that, and i certainly get the jokes. The Office UK is hilarious... i love it. but the outward humor of The Office US is still much better. unfortunately american's cant process the subtle UK jokes b/c theyre always waiting for the big punch line. are you surprised though? it's an attention span sort of thing. figures doesnt it :rolleyes:
