The Office VS The Office

[bass_man1989]

So I just finished the NBC version of The Office and I absolutely loved every moment. I've been considering watching the BBC version while I wait for Season 5 of the US series. Has anyone watched both versions?

 

[Zorak]

Yes.

And I may be biased, but the original is way better. And the orginal I think is overrated.

Office Chair

I've heard the original is better, but I fell in love with the US cast so it'll be a weird switch. Makes me really want to get a new office chair, maybe a really nice executive office chair. Might make me feel important

The remake is actually pretty good and that's saying something from an Englishman who dosen't usually get American humour! I have to say though that the origional is a classic and better. Hey, watch both, make your mind up and enjoy!

I've been watching BBC Office clips today, and the NBC one is pretty much a knock off of it. I have a feeling I'll be more attached to the NBC one though because I learned to love the characters through those actors, but who knows. Plus I love Jenna Fischer.

I think a lot of it's down to culture humour, both were written by Ricky Gervais and he'a genious to appeal to both sides of the market, despite our different senses of humour.:nod:

Our humor does seem to differ, you crazy Brit's and your Monty Python.

I kinda wish I could grab season 5 all at once like I did with the others.

In my opinion, I like the US version better. The first season was more or less a knock off, but that was just to see if the US audience would get into the show. Season 2 is fantastic, 3 was pretty decent, but not as good and im watching season 4 now.

Carell is a genius on that show, as is Dwight.

5 seasons?

Oh bloody hell... I can just see it stretching on for years and years...
