So... Does anyone else think that Todd Howard looks a lot like Steve Carell?

Looks and sometimes acts like him, yes

Me and a friend of mine have had a continuing debate about whether Scrubs is better than the Office or not. I say Office is best but she refuses to see my logic.

No, but I can say that Jim should have stuck with Karen.

No way! Jim and Pam are the hottest in the office, their meant to be with each other!

Pam just seems too delicate, I mean, Karen played Call of Duty for cryin' out loud!

Although, Pam did walk across hot coals.

But Karen's hotter than Pam.

I guess it's good I'm not Jim. :thumbsup:

I saw "great show", and was then disappointed that this turned out to be about the US version.

I've still never seen the British version; ought to get around to doing that sometime. I usually like British humor, so I don't mind all the nay-sayers that don't find it funny.

Was wondering how long it would take before that was posted.

I was going to say that.

Everyone should watch Extras as well, Gervais is a genius.

The original one's better. And I agree about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEnjiGwVw6o.

I saw an episode of the British version on advlt Swim one night and was bored out of my mind. I don't get it.

I think British comedy is often a bit more understated than American comedy, something which doesn't always translate well to an American audience. I generally find with American comedy that characters tend be larger than life and unbelievable, whereas in British comedy they tend to be people I can actually sympathise with. I found that to be the case with the US Office.

Absolutely love the US version. I find the UK version funny but it's not quite my cup of tea.

Never seen the UN version.

The Office is alright, usually funny by the awkwardness.

Very true. When I watched it, I got the feeling that I was merely spectating people during a regular day at, well, "The Office". I expected more obvious jokes and maybe some slapstick like in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (That show is hilarious, by the way).
