The Office
British version= good. American version= different but good also. Apparently people can't get this concept. They think that if a show its not as good as, or not exactly the same as, it's predecessor then it is contemptable.Is Steve Carell as good as Ricky Gervais? Of course not. To expect so would be unreasonable. Is he funny anyway? Yes he is. His blatent and callous insensitivity is different, but no less cringe-inducing. Is Rainn Willson's character the same as Makenzie Crook's? No, but he is creepy and annoying and just as real.
So here's a note to all of those critics out there: it is possible to have an American version of a British show that is not as good as the original, and still be one of the top five comedies on television.
