Re: The Office - US version
Missed this last night, but I need to chime in and defend Coupling. The British version is hysterical. The American version wasn't very good, but it was no worse than dozens of shitty shows that hit the airwaves (some get renewed even!).
The British Office was the most squirm-inducing, wince-worthy, cover-your-eyes in embarrassment comedy I have ever seen. I really enjoyed it, but I can't say I was ever totally comfortable watching it. David Brent was the role Ricky Gervais was born to play.
