this show is, without a doubt, the best advertisement for not allowing americans
to remake classic british comedy programs.
gervais' original offering was brilliant and combined subtlety and the bloody
obvious to capture the "typical" office environment perfectly.
i managed to force myself to sit through two episodes of the american remake and
was completely horrified with the butchery they performed to it.
to think that they have continued to make a fourth season (and that there are
tastless clowns out there watching it) saddens me.
the yanks should stick to what they are good at - crime and drama - leave the
comedy to the brits and aussies.

i just watched the first season of the original uk office. i found it quite
funny but preferred the american offering. i'm canadian, and although ricky
gervais is quite funny, i found it harder to picture him as a boss i could
actually have, whereas steve carell was more a realistic boss in a north
american workplace. it's still funny, but not as relevant to life over here. (at
least in my mind)

different cultures, different tastes. things like music and tv are very
subjective to the point that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder
and why i (and i see others here also) disagree with you.
what "saddens me" is you obviously do not see the bigger picture 🙂

um, if u only watched the first 2 eps of the yank version, of course you would
think us office is crap. the first handfull of eps of the yank version are
pretty much poorly done rip offs of the uk series, but since then the us
version has become by far the superior show. i was a big fan of the original uk
series, but the us version is simply way bigger in scope, character
development, and laughs.

lol i didn't realise us aussies were funny!
i'm australian and i think the us version is hilarious!
i find myself cringing watching steve carell play such
a bumbling idiot (which he pulls off brilliantly i might add!)
personally i can't stand british tv but from few episodes i
saw the uk (original) version was quite funny also!
i agree it depends where you come from bet a lot of people
don't like aussie tv especially since there is obviously more
valued tv coming from the us.

was this show converted by the network permanently into a 60 minute show? the
first four episodes of the season have all been 350mb ~45m releases, whereas the
previous three seasons have all been 20min episodes.
