ok so who watches the funniest show on TV right now??
i watch both the UK version and the US version
I think both are utterly hysterical, although at first i found the UK's version much better, they are both equally as good now
i hope i'm not alone on this one

wow, no office fans here?! i too was a fan of the uk version and pretty much refused to watch the us version after nbc destroyed 'coupling'. i finally gave it a try and became a fan about half way thru this season. now i try to watch every week and i keep telling some of the practical jokers i know that they could learn a few things.

I missed the UK version until the hype storm swept it into 'Godlike' comedy. once i finally got round to seeing it though i was impressed - its a shame extras was a pile of crap though makes me think the office was a fluke.
Watched some of the US but found the characters less likable (except for Steve Carrell who I found more likable - though that was mostly because of Anchorman - I LOVE LAMP!!!) which to me defeated the point.

The Office, Gilmore Girls, and Lost are the only 3 shows I watch on a regular basis...
Has anyone seen the InFANity episode about the Office (U.S. version), presented by TV Guide I believe.

I totallly love the office, though so far I've only seen the US version (I've heard the UK one is even funnier, well debatably so  )... what a great cliffhanger. Unfortunately they don't have more new episodes. I LOVE Steve Carell from the Daily Show, and he's perfectly cast. |

Having seen both versions IMO the UK version tips it simply because Tim/Jim and Dawn/Pam are more likable in the UK version and David Brent/Michael Scott is a lot less likable in the UK version.
In reality thats the only major difference, but its enough to tip the scales in the favour of the UK version

The Office, for me, is one of those shows that I love, but goes unwatched because I like something else it's up against better. So now I'm trying to catch up in summer reruns and really look forward to it. But I can't say it'll turn A-list once the new season starts, for some reason....

there was a shout out to Lost on the Office repeat tonight. If you haven't seen it, The office workers all go down to the warehouse. On the way down, Dwight looks into the camera and says, "remember on Lost, when they met The Others...?"
