Does anyone else here like watching The Office? There is a new episode on in 15 minutes, and I’m very excited.
awe man i was really hoping it would be an hour long. it was really funny though
I love The Office.
I feel sad for Toby though 
Wow. I love the office. I was disappointed by tonight’s episode. but I read that it was the original script written before the strik and chronologically takes place right after the last one, which was in, what like November? Anyway, I went back and watched that episode then watched the new one again, and now I love it. It was a great episode.
The next episode is going to take place about a month after this one (in Office time) according to Greg Daniels blog.
i love the office but it’s on right in the middle of my jiu jitsu so i miss it every time, and i don’t have tivo.
the American office is atrocious, it captures nothing of the humour of the original show. How many series have their been in the US? The last one aired here in 2003.
the office is only like 3 seasons old. i think you are thinking of another show. there have been more than one offices
there must be more, because there was one over here, i never watched it but its old. you must have a different one in america
That seems to be the consensus of most americans as to the british version and vis-versa.
The Office was a british TV show made by Ricky Gervais around 2000, which ran for 2 seaosns plus xmas specials. It was later remade for the American market. Same premis, same rough charatcers although different names, some same plot lines but none of the humour.
i don’t know. american and british humor is different. it’s an uber popular show here. it even won an emmy or something like that. and might i add it’s freakin hilarious!!!
yes i never realised quite how much this is true until they started airing the US office in the UK. Despite the popularity of the original (Golden globe, BAFTA, british comedy award, emmy nominated) the US version sank without trace
That’s what she said.
The british one is way better even though though are both written by gervias, im pretty sure.
The Office is by far my favorite TV show. I have all the episodes I can get saved on TiVO. My roomates and I watch probably 20-30 episodes a week, and there’s about 30 episodes on our TiVO. We can’t get enough.
I’ve seen both the British Office and American Office. I’ve seen a handful of episodes of the British Office and honestly, I’m not a big fan. I really prefer the American Office, though the British version is certainly entertaining.
I think it just really boils down to slight cultural differences in what we each see as humorous. I don’t really think a sense of humor can be right or wrong.
I even have a Dunder Mifflin t-shirt 
After I work this summer, I’m going to buy all the episodes of the office on DVD.
I watched the original show a while before the American one came out. The original Office (British) is one of my favorite TV series. I also love Extras, Ricky Gervais is a comedic genius.
I later saw the American Office, and the first season was horrible. The first few episodes were carbon copies of the British ones but 99% less funny. The later seasons of the American Office started getting a little funnier though when they took their own direction, and it is actually a good show(now).
I think it boils down to this…if you like the American show better you either don’t know any better or don’t appreciate the original comedy masterpiece.
Correct.
The American version of the Office does have some funny moments, but it really doesn’t have the same awkward hilarity that Ricky Gervais brought to the UK original, although Steve Carell was a really good choice as the lead for the show.
Sigh Dave, I fear you may be wasting your time. The British show was simply brilliant, the awkward humor and timing were key.
Cheers.
