Re: NBC\'s The Office
 

It's the funniest show on TV. I never succumbed to the hype around the BBC version, so it's fresh to me even if it's not as good as the original. I'll check them out some time though.

Re: NBC\'s The Office
 

The best part of the show has to be the truthfulness (though exaggerated) of what office-life can be like.

The fire drill had me cracking up. I've seen people run for the exit much like Michael did. And I've seen people act like over-eager fire-wardens, like Michael's assistant did in that hilarious episode.

Great show.

Yeah I love this show too, and totally agree with you about the girl as well.

oh god I love this show. Did you see last week's episode where Michael and Dwight were fighting at the dojo and they were both acting so childish? Ridiculous. My friends all think this show is stupid but I love it.

/start emo soap opera gossip

what the hell is up with Jim doing something extremely socially awkward to Pam every week? first it was the picking her up in the dojo thing (which NEVER got resolved, dammit) and then this week he made the crack at her fiancee leaving her at the hockey game. What gives Jim, just hit it! She wants it man!

Re: NBC\'s The Office
 

I just got the BBC version from Netflix, very good so far. It's funny because the characters and some of the jokes and plotlines are all the same. For instance they have the running assistant to the regional manager joke. The guy who play's Jim/Tim in the BBC version even looks like the newest incarnation.

Your friends suck - that episode is hilarious!

Would also like to be the 3rd (4th?) poster to note that the receptionist chick is very attractive, without actually being empirically that hot.

Re: NBC\'s The Office
 

Ok.

This program is pretty damn good. Not amazing, but very solid. Different to the original, so let's not compare them.

And yes, Pam is cute as a button. Especially the nice tummy shot last week. Sch-wing.

this was the most hilarious episode. I'm still laughing at Michael running for the exit. OMG. And the inappropriate questions they were asking each other in the parking lot about who they'd most like to sleep with. wow.
