I reviewed the UK one a while back. 5 out of 5

There's some discussion about the English vs the American one here too.

What do you say when there's nothing left to say?

Most of us say nothing. You however, find a reason to post anyway!

I watched it last night (I haven't watched it since it was on release the first time [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]), and that line cracked me up.

UK Office Season 1 > US Office Season 1.5

I think the UK Office Season 1 is brilliant, almost perfect. I can't think of a comedy, for a full season's episodes, I've enjoyed more.

Maybe I'll have to rewatch UK Season 2 - it just got way too bitter and ugly IIRC. Because of that, I think for all episodes produced, they're pretty close. As Kramer mentioned, if the Pam-Jim romance doesn't get too treacly or predictable or lame, US version could be one of the great sitcoms IMO.

Watch season 2 and then the Christmas Special as one lot. It's a fabulous resolution to the whole thing.

The scene where the boss 'fires' his friend is hilarious.

DB - quote from a friend over IM:

" i hear what you're saying about uk office, but i think the last 10 minutes of uk office makes everything totally worthwhile."

For some reason I don't remember this very well... will have to watch again thanks for the heads up.

It's close.

The downer of the final episode of the BBC version (Ricky Gervais trying to hold on to his 'celebrity' by making humiliating personal appearances) kind of dragged my feelings about that show down a bit.

Christmas Special Part 1 - sucked.
Christmas Special Part 2 - wonderful.

For our American friends, the 'Christmas Special' you can buy is actually these 2 parts joined, so don't look for a second one.
