Default Re: The Office - Golden Globe winner

I love it, I've seen all 12 episodes from season (or series as you guys over there say) one and two on DVD/BBCAmerica . However, I agree that the average American will not like it that much. On American television, you have to spoon-feed the jokes and tell the audience when to laugh or it will not go over. Not to mention you can't say half the stuff on American TV (or show something like Dirty Berty for example). Plus I think you have to have British actors who understand the timing and nature of British comedy. Just look at what happened to Coupling.
