Do you watch the US version of "The Office"

[bogdana]

I've been marathoning it since a week ago trying to catch up for when the WGA strike is over I'll be on the right page.
Also I just realised I do a dead-on Jim Halpert.
Anyone else watch it? I searched because I think I asked this once, but I couldnt find it. The search brought up a lot of random crap and one read-only.

nah, the british version was quite good (not as good as it was made out to be) and I'm not interested in the idea of the American one.

[the more you explore me!]

I have seen snippets but not whole episodes.

someone at work did say to me that they were watching a film called Dan in Real Life, and the Steve Carell character reminded her of me!

is this good or bad?

[Not Right in the Head]

I watched the first season of the UK version on DVD, and loved it. But I rarely watch TV, so I've only seen a couple bits and pieces of the US one. I like Steve Carrell's movies, though.

[TrueToYou]

the uk version just makes this completely redundant.
Same joke formats. Less Subtle. Not as well performed.

[bogdana]

season 1 of the US version was harder to watch. 2 and 3 are great. I love it.

I'm so sad that there are no new episodes now because of the strike.

I love the Office.

I heard a rumor that they will be having a meeting on monday to iron out some of the problems. im crossing my fingers!

aw nugz i lurve yew <3
so i came up with a storyline for my character as Jim's sister! Its complicated a la "the office" type of writing.
Man am I bored!

it is this:Jim gets his sister hired on as either a temp or some sort of contractor. Jim and his sister come up with a plan that she comes in as a deaf person. in talking heads, she or jim can reveal that they are CODAs, or children of deaf adults, ie their mom is deaf, so they know sign language (this would also explain Jim and his sister's ability to over-express a feeling or emotion, because people that use ASL do a lot of facial expressions with sign). See, thats a decent premise. So, so many things can go wrong for Michael. hee hee hee. huge prank. and it can land on the side of deaf/hoh people bc ignorances can be unveiled that many people hold, and maybe can change the way folks look at deaf/hoh folk. or totally not work and get a lot of people mad.

maybe she should just prank Jim by coming in dressed very much like Pam, to creep Pam out and make her think Jim is attracted to her because she looks like his sister. Hehehe that is totally something I would do in real life.

[Dave]

I liked the original, but I've never seen the US version. I haven't watch TV for the past couple of years. I just never subscribed to cable when I moved, but I do like youtube and some internet tv sites.

It's uncanny.

I watched the first few eps where they copied the UK version word for word which was rubbish!

Once you get past that it's one of the best American comedies i've ever seen! Gets better and better each week and i bet Ricky and Steve wish they had kept their version going a bit longer!

I'm not exactly sure, but I think one of the original creators helped to adapt it to US tv, so that must be why it was a word-for-word episode?

The first 6 eps of the U.S version had the same script as the first series of the UK version.

"which was rubbish"

[the more you explore me!]

can't any one answer my question from page one.

[Alcoholic Afternoons]

The first few episodes of the US version were nothing more than a bad imitation of the original UK show. After that, though, it became its own show, and I like it much better than the UK version. (I don't think I've ever said that about a US version of something from the UK before.)

Steve Carrell is great, as is the Dwight Schrute character.

I've never heard of the film and i've never met you so i'd say it was a good thing!

Maybe so, but that probably didnt matter since most Americans hadn't seen the Office (UK). And frankly those are my least favorite episodes...

I agree. Season two and three have been great. I LOVE Dwight's character. It seems like a very fun part to play. I love that Rainn Wilson really puts all his efforts into it.

On the contrary.

[bogdana]

Brian Posehn, David Cross and co are the equivalent to The Smiths, whereas Dane Cook and crew is the equivalent to Aerosmith. Dane and co are shiny and loud but basically garner very little talent, unless you're a frat boy and your into talentless duuuudes.

[Dave]

Aerosmith have plenty of talent. they just sold out to try to make pop hits, and started imitating their imitators. I haven't listened to them in years and they do lots of annoying things, but some of their music, like the album Rocks, is as good as any hard rock.

im sorry you are right. its not fair of me to compare the two, because really nothing is worse than Dane Cook. Wait, except Carlos Mencia. He's about 20 times worse.

[Musings]

I saw it for the first time a couple nights ago, and it was just okay. I don't watch much tv at all, but I have season 1 of Gervais's version and it is, well, hilarious. Definitely recommend it over the American version, but maybe only because I prefer gervais over Steve Carrell... the American version seems to be well written, from the short amount that I saw.

[Shaw]

Nah the American version is crap in comparison. Simple as that for me, so no i don't.

When you tried your hand at standup, (read that in another thread) did Mencia wind up stealing any of your jokes ?

no, but i recently heard a chick use a variant of my 'sharpie as an eyeliner' joke on TV and it ticked me off!

[Buzzetta]

Oh... I was looking for an excuse to say Joe Rogan is right... F-Mencia.

I hear Robin Williams steals jokes too but not on purpose - that it is more along the lines that his brain does not have a trap door and just repeats and retells everything he encounters that he finds amusing.

Mencia not only steals jokes, some of the ones he uses are so generic, racist and boring I am seriously surprised he has his own show. Comedy has been watered down by these fratty comics and its really sad.

I have heard from many comics on the circuit how Williams will go into open mics with a friggin notepad. He's actually banned from one place, I think its the comedy store. He's just as bad as mencia, he's just been around longer.

Sadly what makes Williams funny to people is really his mental disorder. He's bipolar and the mania is what is amusing.

I only saw the UK version on MTV, I like it, but...

This is great!!! I have seen some Jim faces, but you take the cake. Great job!!! Michael Scott really should hire you!!

I love this show. It's pretty much my favorite show on tv. Dwight is my favorite because he's fucking nuts! and I love it!!

The best episode still was "The Injury" from season 2 when Michael burns his foot on his Forman grill and Dwight gets a concusion on the way to pick him up. The best line from the episode...

Dwight: There are 4 things you have to remember; ...3. I am faster than 80% of all snakes... hahahahah!!!!!

YES ! and i love when he says "part of my duties is to" and everyones like, WHAT!??
I've noticed that season three is a little more touching than 2; michaels character has been shown from different angles than just embarrasingly unawares.

I love the lyrics in the first verse of this song, they are quite fitting to me. I was gonna post them as my sig but they're way to long, no-one would read them an they're lost without the music and the shouting.

Can you recommend me any similar bands? I don't hear of many bands like this in the UK.

I'm into all types of music, you could give me any album in the world and i'll find a few songs i like.

I! LOVE! THIS! SHOW!

I've seen a few episodes of the British version and thought it was very funny. I think if I had seen the entire series, I may not enjoy the US version so much, but it's my fave show on TV. Every episode is freakn hilarious. Totally my kind of humor.

I remember when Rainn was on my fave HBO series, Six Feet Under as Arthur -what a great, creepy role. He is awesome on the Office. And I love Steve Carrell -better here than any movies he makes (except for 40 yr old Virgin) and I crack up at the Stanley character. He's from Chicago too. Represent!

Yes! I didn't think anyone else watched 6 Feet Under and the Office. Rainn as Arthur was pretty funny. He played that role very well. The well mannored, respectful creepster. Unlike the nerdy and rude creepster that is Dwight, haha!

I waited in line at the Steamtown Mall in Scranton for hours to meet Rainn but there about 10,000 people in front of me so I wasn't able actually meet him. It was such a crushing defeat.

By the way for all who are interested, the show is very accurate to Scranton. The footage used in the opening credits (although the "Welcome to Scranton" sign has since been updated) the references to Alfredo's pizza, the Abe's deli menu on the fridge in the kitchen...just about everything they say or show, having to do with Scranton is 100% accurate.

I never saw him on six feet under, i didnt watch it enough. i love stanley too and when he makes his eyes real big. and in the episode where they throw andy's cellphone into the ceiling above his head, thats one of my fave stanley moments because he looks up and then has a look on his face like, "Jim." and just goes back to work, ahhahaha!

That, I think, is the BEST Jim prank on Dwight. I had to watch it a few times. also had to rewind a couple times when Andy's phone was in the ceiling and Jim was callng it WHILE Andy was getting pwned by Michael, and Andy goes bonkers and punches the wall, and Jim looks at the cam and hangs up- that look was so freakin priceless. I thoroughly enjoyed that three seconds!!

The British version is better but the U.S. sitcom is great in its own right too. Two big reasons the British version is better: Ricky Gervais gives one of the all-time great comic performances and the U.S. version unwisely focuses too much on Pam and Jim in a lame attempt by NBC to recreate the Ross/Rachel dynamic from "Friends". Anyway, I'm a fan of both.

Two big reasons the British version is better: Ricky Gervais gives one of the all-time great comic performances and the U.S. version unwisely focuses too much on Pam and Jim in a lame attempt by NBC to recreate the Ross/Rachel dynamic from "Friends". Anyway, I'm a fan of both.

they do pander on the JAM thing a lot, but at least those two really act and do a great job. i wish there was more Schrute.

The Pam/Jim thing is about the only part I don't like. I think they're annoying.

Ricky Gervais is great but so is Steve Carrell, and Dwight, Creed, Stanley, Angela, Toby, the former boss/current girlfriend and other characters I think make the American version overall better.

Ultimately, though, it really doesn't matter which is better. I'm glad they're both good, given the lack of programming that isn't total crap.

bogs, I welcome this thread anytime :)

I watched the rerun last night "Back from Vacation" where Michael and Jan go to Jamaica and he accidentally emails the pic of her half naked to "packaging" instead of "packard (friend)" and well, you know the rest.

Michael Scott: I did see Jan in Jamaica... in our room... at night... and in the morning... and that's all I'm going to say... sex... we had sex... I had sex with her... I had sex with Jan.

"Feelin hot, hot, hot" (insert michael on steel drum here)

I know! I love that relationship between Michael and Jan. I know you do too =o) "Yes, you would love all the details, wouldn't you? Skeevy little perv." As much as I love the Jam hookup, I'm ready for them to go back to being friends ... focus more on the two of them contriving evil plots against Dwight. The current or future Dwight. :p

What's everyone's thoughts on Dwight and Angela? Since she is kind of seeing Andy now, is Dwight totally out of the picture? Apparently she said "Oh D" while while Andy so maybe they will get back together?

As funny as it was in previous seasons seeing them sneak around about their relationship, I loved watching them fight just before the break up.

But it's pretty sad to see Dwight so upset over it. :(

I want Pam and Jim back together. :( My favourite character is Dwight Schrute. Dwight's the man! :D

[bogdana]

that seems to be the consensus with most of us- we all love dwight!

[Skinner]

I must obviously be subconsciously in love with Rainn Wilson. I had a dream last night that I ran into many of the cast members of The Office while in the Hot Topic at the Steamtown mall in Scranton. I first noticed “Dwight” but he wasn’t in character. It was Rainn Wilson in his sexy indie glasses etc. I was swooning over him until stupid Ryan Howard comes up and starts talking to me and asking me if he can “im” me sometime.

I was outraged as he totally ruined my chances with Dwight/Rainn!!!

I think I'm the only person I know who truly enjoyed this episode. It was so insane and over-the-top that it blew me away. I don't think it was the best comeback episode to choose, but it was amazing on its own.

I wanted to ask a question on the live blog after the show, but there were 250+ ones queued up before 8:00 :(

Also, my idea for an episode was posted on their board.

Wow, 1 out of 3 for me. Better than the average night.

Well, someone else posted it. I might post my other ideas though. I have 2 other ideas besides the one that was the other guy's. I have an outline and a few segments for one, and I wrote a full cold open, but I'm not sure what the right format or anything is. I've never written a script, so I don't know if it's right, but I think it's damn funny. I may post it later next week.

I enjoyed Jan's ridiculous/weird old lady dancing to Hunter's song. She was so into it. I bet she thinks he wrote the song for her. Was he saying "Jan" in the song?

Cable is lots of extra channels what you pay for (like sky). I didn't watch all of the American version but they definitely didn't censor the British one. If possible try and watch the British one....one of my favourite programmes ever :)

ok, im done now. just had to get that out. :)

[MadameChaos]

Nah, I didn't like the UK one.

[modrevolve]

Tonight's episode sounds like a dandy!

"Michael and Dwight decide to surprise Ryan in New York for a night of clubbing and meet his friends. Meanwhile, the Scranton branch is upset when they find out they have to come in on a Saturday for Ryan's website project. Jim's plan to save them has unexpected results. "

[modrevolve]

What has happened to this show..the last two episodes have been totally BLAH..

[Skinner]

It is getting pretty weird. I think the funniest part of this episode was Pam's glasses. I also enjoyed Kevin's commentary as always.

But Toby is a jerk, Stanely apparently is a jerk too, and Michael FINALLY grew a pair and had a real conversation by the end of it.

It is strange lately though I do agree.

[Corrissey]

Yeah, it’s been different – but still had its funny parts (Pam’s glasses—LOL). Let’s not give the Brits any more reasons to hate the US version. :p

p.s. I love Stanley.

At the very end when Pam talked to that guy about graphic design and basically told her she needs to go to NY of Philly...I smell trouble. My bf predicts that Jim will ask her to marry him and she will say she needs to move for a career and the whole thing will be drama city.

I hope not :(

[Corrissey]

Go JAM! :sweet:

Got the same impression..seems like Jim is finally feeling accomplished at his job with is big score of a client and Pam is at the end of her rope with hers. The best thing those two could do is to move to Philly so she could attend graphic design school and he could pursue his dream of being a sports writer.

Toby leaving will be enough, I don't think any more PB&J drama will happen in the finale, but it will leave us at a cliffhanger.

Toby leaving totally ruins my cold open though :(

do you think that Toby leaving was planned to be the ending for Season 4 or because of the shortened season they had to scrap a lot of ideas?

[modrevolve]

I can't wait for tonight's episode!!!

[Jose]

I can't wait for tonight's episode!!!

Me neither!!! Although I will only be able to download it tomorrow...

I think the thing behind Pam looking for another job is that she wanted it but when she came back to the office (the scenes were not chronological) and found out that Jim managed to get that big client and Jim publicly kissed her in the office made her realize that Jim wouldn't be leaving anytime soon and that she will decide to stay herself.

And I think Toby's character will leave the series because he is of course in love with Pam and very jealous of her relationship with Jim and the whole PDA-thing didn't have any effect. But he will never say that to everybody's face and he will make something up about not getting along with Michael and Michael always being in his face. And let's be honest - Pam would never leave Jim for Toby (he's no knight in shining armor) and Michael picking on Toby is getting a little old now - so there is hardly any development left for his character.

But as usual, I might be totally wrong about all this! :p

[modrevolve]

I don't know about the rest of you, but the season finale blew my mind last night. Thought it was hilarious and set up many plot lines for next season..two thumbs up from this guy

I just loved what they did with Kevin. That was my favorite aspect of the episode. That and Michael talking like Yoda. I love when he does that :D

[Corrissey]

Well, the season ended with a bang ;)

[modrevolve]

Its was great that everyone got a little piece of the story..Funny I said out loud, hmm Andy has had no lines this whole show then..bang!

[Corrissey]

I don't want Michael to have a relationship with the new HR woman. No more office romances. btw, she resembles Jan too much.

[modrevolve]

he's going to Lamaze with jan on monday..
"whatever that is"..:D

[modrevolve]

I don't want Michael to have a relationship with the new HR woman. No more office romances. btw, she resembles Jan too much.

Funny you say that Cor, because I always though the woman he dated a few seasons ago "carol" who is Steve Carrell's wife in real life resembles jan quite a bit too..Guess Michael must have a type..

[Skinner]

I don't want Michael to have a relationship with the new HR woman. No more office romances. btw, she resembles Jan too much.

Jan would never have replied to Michael in a Yoda voice though. I think she resembles Jan but is much more like Michael. But wasn't she trying to get with Toby at the end? Maybe she is just a nympho?

[modrevolve]

She went to eat pie with Kevin at the end of the episode..hilarious..

[Corrissey]

Jan would never have replied to Michael in a Yoda voice though. I think she resembles Jan but is much more like Michael. But wasn't she trying to get with Toby at the end? Maybe she is just a nympho?

Yeah, the Yoda talk was awesome (instant love connection ;)) Maybe they will just have a fling to fill a few episodes. Maybe she'll get with Kevin for pity sex. :D lol

I can't believe Angela said "ok" to Andy :eek: :p And I felt bad for Jam that they were denied their 'moment' but it's the only way to leave us 'hanging' till next season.

[modrevolve]

I figured that Ryan being arrested means that Jim will takeover his job in NYC since Pam is heading up there for graphic design school..

[nugz]

I just watched this online, and I AM SO ANGRY!!!! :mad: haha :D:p

but i realize they had to do these things to make me want to keep watching. damn them!!! :cool:

I kept trying to find the video of Ryan on youtube but couldn't :(

I so thought Jim would propose on the Ferris Bueller Wheel when they first walked outside.

Here is a new twist I didn't about..Rashedia Jones who played Karen, Jim's
girlfriend just had her show on Fox canceled. Wonder if they'd bring her back next season as Toby's replacement..She is already a branch manager in Utica.

Mmm, sounds interesting.
And with Pam maybe going to New York for 3 months - that might heat things up again between Jim and Karen. :rolleyes:
That way the writers can "postpone" a wedding between Jim and Pam.
New twist, new storyline.

[prisoner77]

God no..

[nugz]

I hate Jan!!! what a fucking bitch!! Michael was sooo sad. and he wants to be a daddy so bad he's gonna try to look over it. ohhh, he can do better! :(

In fairness, I haven't given the US version much time. The British episodes are amongst my all time favourite TV programmes. But I suppose if N and S like it, it must be good...

yeah I was actually gonna bring that up. its usually like "the American version sux." "oh have you watched it?" "no." :rolleyes:


isnt Ricky Gervais one of the main producers or something anyway? and yes, if its Nugz and Skinner approved then it must be excellent. :D:guitar:

[joey]

I still say Mr. Gervais will be on the last episode as either the CEO of DM or someone who is buying out DM. And maybe I'll write that episode :)

Only 2 weeks til the new season starts! I can hardly wait! http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/6666/staticxg6.gif (http://imageshack.us)
They will start the season with a 1-hour long episode. :D

[Skinner]

^^
Good! I was disapointed by how last season panned out due to the strike etc so hopefully this one is super.

Also this is cute:

http://dundermifflin.jb2k.com/images/thurs-fewmorehours.jpg

[modrevolve]

I sersiously can't wait for the season to start..here is the synopsis for the first episode of season five..makes sense that they'll be starting right where the show was left off since there are so many unanswered questions.

"Weight Loss" - September 25, 2008
For the first time, we see what happens over eight weeks of the summer, as a Dunder Mifflin weight loss initiative causes the branch to diet and become obsessed with their weight. Michael pursues a friendship with his new HR rep, Holly. Jim misses Pam who attends art school in New York. Dwight, Andy and Angela attend to unfinished business.

[Half_a_Person]

I've got all the three seasons on DVD and waiting for the 4th season to come. Who says that Rainn Wilson couldn't be funnier as ever?

[Jose]

*snip*

Dwight, Andy and Angela attend to unfinished business.

Ooh yeah, that was some cliffhanger! :eek: :p

I've watched it a few times. Not judging it on the fact it's an Americanized version of a British TV classic, it's actually OK. But comparing it to the UK version it's not that good. The American David Brent is too likeable and you can watch him without cringing. Also "Gareth Keenan" isn't as funny in the American version.

The US will never be able to top the Comic Relief episode. "Oh, how could you hide a chair?!"

You sir (or ma'am) are still wrong. I have seen the British version plenty of times and I did really like it. My one complaint was that Garreth could have been cast or performed better. And I love British comedy (Spaced is my #1 favorite show of all time) so it's not that I didn't get the humor, I just prefer Dwight to Garreth. Because he is better ;)

Gareth was performed excellently, I couldn't think of anyone more perfect for the role than Mackenzie.:)

And yeah, Spaced was epic.

While sitting at my desk in my mind numbingly boring office job, I heard someone say to someone else "don't forget to use the strap". I have no idea what they were talking about or the context of the statement but I ended up saying very loudly "...tttttthats what she said!" with out explaination. I knew I didn't want to say it, let alone loudly enough for others to hear but it blurted its way out of my mouth uncontrollably.

This guy would be proud...

Dwight throwing Phyllis out of the car and having her walk back to the office!

Michael and Holly rapping!

"Dundler Mifflin, this is Ronny."

Holly finding out Kevin is actually "normal".

Andy trying so hard to make everything perfect for Angela and her sleeping with Dwight behind Andy's back! Angela, you slut! :eek:


But the best part was Jim's proposal, it was almost drowned out by the traffic and the rain. :o It was a beautiful scene. *sigh*

my favorite line from last night and one of my top ever was Kevin to Holly

"Wait back up. Do you think that I'm retarded?"

Yeah that was a great line!

Also, Michael about the weight loss: "you are all gigantic losers!" :D

yeah! i finally got to watch it. i missed it originally, but i knew about the proposal cuz someone who thought I had watched it had IMed me and said "I CANT BELIEVE JIM PROPOSED!" and i was like "I CANT BELIEVE YOU TOLD ME THAT CUZ I HAVENT WATCHED IT YET!" haha oops!

anyway, im glad how they did it. nice and simple. unexpected (if you didnt know before hand :rolleyes:) ...but they totally alluded to the fact that there'd be problems cuz Pam was gettin cozy with that dude at school, no Pam no!!!

Michael is an idiiot! again!!! grrrr :rolleyes:

I think I laughed the loudest at the part where they showed Phyllis catching Dwight and Angela doin it in the warehouse cuz the look on Dwight's face was fucking priceless!!
