Huh? oh to hell with sleep,I've got another couple of hours left in me now."Tried & Tested Euphoria" is pumping out of my 2watt speakers on the pc and I'm in a damn good neutral spine position.

LET'S DEBATE!

English Office or American remake Office - which is funnier?

Oh Jeez, I've not seen the English version of The Office--my bet is that it's probably funnier! Rick, have you seen both versions? What is your take?

The American version is side-splittingly funny. It is so incredibly well done. I only wish I see the English version!

I was a huge fan of the BBC version of the Office and was skeptical when I heard there was going to be an American version....but I can say, I like it just as well.

Pink is it still available to view in the US? Or are you saying you bought it on video (DVD)?

I don't care what anyone says, the Brits hands down are the funniest people on the earth!!!!

We Americans have stolen so many sitcom ideas from the Brits that they win the funniest people crown. I wonder if the queen is funny?

We are still the #1 country in the world just not the funniest. :lol:

Well I just rented 3 dvd marathon's of the american version. I think it's better, but I am little biased. I have grown to adore the characters, Dwight, Michael Scott, Jim, Pam. It makes my day sometimes.

I was a loyal follower of the Office on BBC-America. I was skeptical when the US version started. It's not as painful as the US version of Coupling, but it's more slaptstick comedy than the UK original. I think the original is darker and almost tragic at times. The US version is too in-your-face to me. And I don't feel sorry at all for Michael, whereas I almost always felt bad for David.

Just my two cents...

I'm not sure if it's still on, I used to watch it years ago...it used to be on PBS before the US version was developed. Haven't seen it for a while. You may be able to still find it on BBC America (still waiting for more episodes of the Kumars) if you have it that channel on your cable package.

Anyone watch Couplings? Another great show.
