It was funny, but harder for me to follow. Partly because of their accents, but also they use slang that I don't get and therefore miss some of the jokes. Sometimes it's almost a foreign language. i feel the same about the British version. It was funny, but harder for me to follow.

I didn't really give it a fair chance at the time. I'm just glad that the American version isn't just a remake of the British version. I don't think it would have worked and now I have an entirely different office to explore. Did you know there was a German version also? Oh Dude, Steve Carell has always been the overconfident dimwitted straight man. I honestly think if I had watched more episodes of the British version I would have been hooked.

I had almost the exact opposite experience with The Office. Loved the British version, but have been so-so on the American. I think for me the problem is Steve Carell, who's generally really funny, but doesn't seem to really work as a "straight man." I guess I just see him as too inherently goofy. Anyway, different strokes, I guess. Great illo, though! Funny… I had almost the exact opposite experience with The Office. Loved the British version, but have been so-so on the American.
