Please tell me there are some LP'ers out there who love the show as much as me. I mean come on, this is Steve Carrell at his best. Anyway, I think this is the greatest show on tv right now, anyone agree?

Anyways, I tried not to be one of those people, but I gotta admit that the UK version is better on all levels. Its funnier, the characters are better and you feel for them more. I still like the US version, I think its a great show. But sometimes I just feel like its turned into the TV version of Anchorman.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I really loved the British version, and I was afraid the US version would blow as badly as some other adaptations. And I think in the first few episodes they tried TOO hard to make everything an analogue of the British version. Then they just let their version be something somewhat different, and it really improved. Still think the British version is better, but the US version is quite good. I actually like the Dwight character better in the US version. He's more a petty would-be dictator and less just plain weird. Rainn Wilson is great in the part.

Originally Posted By Santa Monica I think the best show on TV is Scrubs, but I love The Office. I used to love My Name is Earl, but I feel the show's gimmick (crossing off his list/karma) has gotten old. Other shows I love are 24, Lost, Prison Break, and Amazing Race.
Originally Posted By NYthrillseeker I really believe that most of the people that love the Office, really know the excellent shows on TV. The Office is currently the only sitcom I watch on a regular basis, other than Seinfeld reruns. All other comedies just don't make me laugh nearly as much as this show does. I am also a Scrubs fan, but don't watch it that often. Other must watch favorites of mine are 24, and Lost. Those are two outstanding shows that can not be missed. I see many LP's here seem to like those as well. I heard Prison Break was real good, but I missed the pilot, so I'll have to wait for the DVD's. I'm not jumping in now.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Not a fan of the Office at all. But I love Scrubs and My Name is Earl, as well as Invasion, the Guardian and Commander in Chief. There are no current british shows I like. Sad but true. Thank god for satellite TV.
Originally Posted By hightp I don't care for "The Office" either. I tried watching it a few times and felt the situations were a little too forced. Steve Carrell's character was a little too clueless/inept, the tall male office worker a little to socially retarded. The comedy seemed flat to me.
