Okay, I admit it. As a big fan of the British TV series The Office, I was at first uninterested (and frankly a bit dumbfounded) by the idea of them making an American version of the show. And when I watched the first couple of episodes of the american series, based as they were on the scripts from the Brit show, I was just really turned off. It didn't seem as funny, and to see them attempt some of the same jokes and situations, but without Ricky Gervais... it just seemed lame. Lame, lame, lame...
But I've repented. That's right- changed my mind!
With a bit of space between me and the last time I watched the British series, and with giving the US one a decent shot, I can now say- it rocks. Seriously, seriously funny. Not the same as the british, which is good. Steve Carell has got his own thing going on... If you haven't given it a chance, you too should repent. Yeah- the original was good, but it's gone... get over it! :)
I got my wife to watch a couple episodes last night, and I think she might be hooked! Rock on...
So, let's say someone wanted to see this American version, but they didn't know exactly how to go about it. I suppose that one could, if one were so inclined, click here. But I certainly wouldn't recommend doing such a thing.
