The office is an EXCELLENT show that just started it's american run on NBC. It used to be on BBC, and starred Ricky Gervais. On the American version, things are a tad different with the guy from Anchorman, Steve Carell staking over Gervais's spot. I had some qualms about watching the American version, since I liked the original soo much, but it was actually not that bad.

i think that most shows that start in different countries and then start getting made in the usa are not as good in the us. ermm.gif

I agree, although Carell's performance is good, it isn't as brilliant as Gervais's. That man WAS, IS, and ALWAYS will be David Brent.

i haven't seen the british version but the us version... JIM! love. and jim/pam? ::dies::

and dwight is super awesome. i love this show.

one of my favorite parts is in the second season finale at the beginning of the episode when jim tells dwight that he's telekinetic so dwight tells him to move the coat rack and pam moves it with her umbrella (but dwight doesn't see) so he thinks jim is. so then dwight tries to move things with his mind. HILARIOUS.

tonight! squee! :)

eta; how awesome was the premiere? ahhh! spoiler alert...........
























pam called off the wedding! she's taking art classes! the pining!!!!

but jim's in stamford. not for long, though. dwight's fake crying over jim... i LOVE this show.
