The Office - An American Workplace [US] - Season 1 Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Dumb Americanization of British comedy genius.

Being a huge fan of the Ricky Gervais original,I honestly approached this with an open mind.

Suffice to say:

THIS DUMB,UN-FUNNY & UTTERLY POINTLESS REMAKE IS SO GLARINGLY INFERIOR TO THE ENGLISH ORIGINAL IN EVERY IMAGINABLE WAY THAT I'M AT-A-TOTAL-LOSS AS TO WHY EVEN MR GERVAIS ALLOWED HIS NAME TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DRIVEL.to wit: It's horrendous. Ye I have forewarned thee!

Not for the American prejudice Brit!

For those who are prejudice against Americans you probably don't want to watch this as you don't have an open mind to enjoy it with.

It is written by the same people so has the same sort of appeal, it is supposed to be for American audiences true, but if you enjoy this type of humor you will like it for what it is... a totally different show based on the same principals.

It is hard not to compare the two, and the 'Gareth' character had to be made over to fit another stereotype or it wouldn't work and yes you may not know who some of the people they are referring to are since they aren't famous in Britain... but Americans watched the British version with the same problem and still loved it enough to give awards for it!

The pilot is not as good as the rest of the series admittedly, but after that it is pretty funny and well worth watching.
