The Office

[Angelic_Scars]

It was very trippy to see name changes but I'll say I was pleased with what I saw, started out a little boring but dont all shows? Or atleast most. I'm sure it will pick up over time, plus its kind of fun to compare them to each other.   But I think I like this verisons of dwlight and jim better. And the boss was funny, so it had moments.

It was pretty good. Much better than the American Office. I didn't understand some of the British humor, but that didn't stop me from liking it. Ricky Gervais was really funny.

I'm not a big fan of the supporting cast, though. They aren't likable or funny. The blonde haired guy looks like a drug addict.

Well, Gareth isn't exactly meant to to be the kind of guy you'd want as your best mate.

I actually liked the episodes so far. I find them funny no not as funny as some of the newer stuff, but this has been out for awhile now. At the original Air date this was a good comedy show. That is just my opinion of the show

Um really? The Office? Don't get me wrong. I mean I like the British (original) version but really do not feel it fits with this crowd. British humor only comes in two forms wacky IE Monty Python, The Mighty Boosh or VERY dry IE the Office or Faulty Towers. Just don't see a fanbase who enjoy shows like sqidbillies and superjail getting dry humor. Maybe the Anime crowd. We are a bit odd. (Some of us still watch Dr. Who)

Well, I for one love it. But it wasn't always that way. See, I when I first saw it, I already knew I loved Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. I thought I might give this a go. I forgot what episode it was, but all I know is I was a bit young and walked away from it thinking it was pretty boring but that there was something that made me want to keep watching. I forgot to tune in again. *doh*

Fast forward a couple of years later. I like the American knockoff. And I remember the original British version and know that eventually I want to try seeing it again. But then along came [adult swim]. I'm older, wiser, my tastes have expanded, and I love both versions. And now, I personally can't see how anyone can watch this and not like it or at least chuckle.

I hate to say this, but it really maybe an acquired taste that not everyone will get. It may take some time to develop the necessary state of mind to watch this. You need to be able to watch it as it is and not compare it to anything else, but watch it on its own merits. It deserves it just like any other show, and I'm willing to bet that the other shows people have mentioned on this thread are apples and oranges anyway. And of course you're not going to get it or catch everything if you change the channel halfway through. That's just ridiculous, imo. Take the time to give it your all. Patience is a virtue. And I think it needs to be understood that this kind of show isn't written to have you bent over with laughter the whole time and that you can't get the instant gratification that everyone wants nowadays. With this show, it's kind of a mix between comedy and drama. Like real life, there's a time to chuckle, a time to burst out in laughter, and a time to cringe or feel bad (mainly for Davey Brent).

I'm sorry about the long post, just my thoughts.

I was really, really offput at first.

But now I absolutely love it.

I'm just not sure it was really the greatest fit for [as].
