The US has sort of already had their 'Office' though haven't they?
Great film and just as sharp as the UK series, no?

I found it pretty funny... I haven't seen the origional. I've kinda given up expecting integrity in entertainment.

I watched it tonight and laughed quite a bit for TV
I never saw the original so that is probably part of why I found it funny.

Shameless is the best comedy to come out of the UK in ages.
So damn funny.

it just doesnt work without gervais, they proved it cant be duplicated.

There's something sinister about the boss in the US version - like he's a closet paedo or sexual deviant or something.

I thought it started out alright... but got very annoying in the end. That boss dude is just too much.

Im a big fan of the original, and the american version is painful to watch, particularly when they try to duplicate specific jokes from the original.
However, I think it is still more interesting and probably funnier than most other sitcoms on tv. I think it has potential to be good if it can get past the plot lines of the original and start doing new stuff.

agreed. even though a blatant ripoff of storylines and jokes, and not as funny, it still beats the heck out of all the other crap on tv right now.

somethings you just cannot replicate
