The Office - The American version

Well that does it for me....


The show sucked reeeeeaaalllly bad.

In fact it was the worst show that I've seen in awhile.
I felt I wasted 30 minutes of my life on this piece-o-shit. :angry:

It was like I was watching the movies Pootie Tang or Master Of Disguise.
Utter crap!!!! :angry:

I haven't seen the British version but it has to be 1000 times better. :dry:

edit: This is cool. BBC has a marathon of The Office starting 12 noon to 4 pm.

6 episodes. Second season marathon is on April 2 12-4 as well.

I've Tivo'd them all.

That's weird that 6 40 min episodes make a full season. :blink:

Yeah lots of british comedy seasons are about 6-8 eps unlike the american 20 odd. And its actually only 6 x 30 mins as the show is made by the BBC so it doesn't have any ad breaks in Britain.

I never liked the british one at first but the more you watch it the funnier it gets.:lol:

It's even better if you've worked in that type of environment. ;)

Can't say I've seen the NBC version though.

:shuriken:

The Office was so funny, I loved it.

I used to have all the episodes on my pc but had to get rid of them cos I needed the space :(

I used to work in an office and wear a suit everyday so I thought I would like it. The movie Office Space was wayyyyyyyyyyyy better.

That movie even got our rush hour traffic right.

I wish they made THAT into a TV show.

i dunno... so far, comic strips (not comics, comic STRIPS) - movies/tv shows haven't been successful to my knowledge offhand.

A few I can think of are: garfield the movie SUCKED, i didn't really like the garfield tv show, the dilbert tv show never lasted. Basically, though office space the movie kicked ass i bet a tv version probaby wouldn't.

i cant imagine anyone being a dickhead as much as ricky gervais. if you've seen his standup as well you'll realise no one can really compare

I just finished watching the original Office and it was wayyyyyyy better.

I put my finger on why the American version sucks in comparison.

The lead character Ricky Gervais - very likable
The lead of the American version - dry as fuck, boring as shit

All the other characters in the original have way more life as well but main offense is our version piece-o-shit main character. :frusty:

Steve Carrell is the main guy, he was very funny in Anchorman and Bruce Almighty.
Obviously nobody can replace Gervais.

And Office Space rules!
