Well, wow. What can I say? I hope I can be of some service here and provide content to show and stay up-to-date. Things seem to be going well.

Hi and where the h*ll is my stapler?!

I loved The Office and The Office, An American Workplace... but it's only shown randomly here on satellite channels so I've only seen series 1 and 2 and some of 3.

I'm a big fan of the American version. I've given a chance to the UK version, but I'm not sure why I just can't grasp it. Ricky Gervais is an absolute genius. It is my personal opinion that he's only improved it in America.

Michael Clump became my second favorite character after Prison Mike. "See you always say there's something wrong with society but maybe there's something wrong with you". HHAHAHAH.

Jo: Try to get the 2nd/3rd season as those are the only one's that matter. You can catch the episodes after they air on NBC's website(don't know if they block them for users outside of the US):

Unfortunately, they do block to those outside the U.S., just as the BBC blocks online videos from some of my favorite shows they air.

Fortunately, places like Mininova and the Pirate Bay exist, or else how would we stay in touch on the adventures of Sarah Jane Smith?

Know torrents, Jocasta? CB's right, series 2, 3, and I would include 4 as good ones. Series 1 of the US version was painful for me to watch. Thank goodness it was only like 6 or 8 episodes.

Captain Beefheart · 09-29-2008, 06:30 PM

I've only seen very little of the british version but the american one went in a completely different directon than the former. It's actually interesting because the original idea was for Michael to be brash, mysoginist, homophobic, sometimes racist, politically correct like Gervais character but after the first season they added a human element to him(and they completely changed his appearance too). He's always shown great care for his employees like being the only one who shows up to Pam's art gallery, he sabotaged Karen's brand so Stanley wouldn't leave the Office, he showed up at the CEO's house so that his branch wouldn't get closed.

The 4th season is tragically bad paced and just seems rushed together because of the strike, but the season finale is pretty dope.
