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:

That was such a funny episode!! Cant wait for the next one. The part that made it more funny is the guy i'm working for at the moment contracted me to build a Gay website! lol. everything is Gay on channel four at the moment!! lol

I just love the look on her face when Moss is behind the bar.

just watched it on 4OD, i thought it was hilarious! laughing all the way through and thought it was really good

"How are you?"

"I'm Disabled"

cracked me up everytime that was mentioned

Yeah when he says it its funny...sorta squeaks it out :laugh:

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
