I totally agree with RM here, the Office is one of the funniest shows on TV!

Original Office > American one Ricky Gervais is a genius <3 Was one of my favourite shows when it was on and still now. Gervais always axes his shows though after 2 series to keep them "fresh" :/ He did the same with Extras, which is also hilarious. <3 Ricky

I don't know about the original being better than the American one. I think the original is better in the UK and the American one is better here. The kind of deadpan comedy that the show thrives on I think needs to be culturally tailored. That would explain why there is also a French version as well as a German one.

Start a thread about House then!
J/k, if you just started watching now, I would def recommend you rent or buy the first two seasons on DVD, there has been alot of character development and you will get alot more of the jokes if you understand the backstory on them.

Office > House
House is just too damn unrealistic, one day he gets shot in the hospital, one day he is in a hospital bed dying. give me a break.

Office > House House is just too damn unrealistic, one day he gets shot in the hospital, one day he is in a hospital bed dying. give me a break. You are dumb. That whole episode was a dream. He did get shot. But it didn't extend past one episode... and it wasn't like that is completely improbable. Although you might have been referring to how each episode the patient that is the focus is dieing... outlandish? Sure. But it makes for some great mysteries/storylines. And the whole "unrealistic" thing... House is based off of actual medical cases that have occurred. Yes, they are incredibly rare and some of the most confusing and confounding cases that exist, but they still occurred. Obviously, they make minor tweaks to the cases to make them more interesting, but the majority of the episodes are based on some sort of actual event/case. So, unrealistic? No. Rare/interesting? Sure. And tbh, that is what makes it so interesting imo - that each and every episode has some twist/mystery/etc. In addition, for those of you who don't know - House is based off of Sherlock Holmes. House = Sherlock Holmes. Wilson = his sidekick, Watson (or you could make the comparison as his team as a whole being Watson...). Sherlock Holmes had a drug addiction... so does House, etc etc. Oh, and of course, who can't love his brutal honesty? And chump, I was thinking about making another thread, but got lazy. Back on topic though... I've missed some of it, but one of my friends filled me in pretty well on some of the subplots, so I think I get a lot of the "inside" jokes. ~ JeM

Had to revive this thread because The Office frickin rocks. What do you guys think of the newer episodes (season 5)? I dont quite enjoy them as much as season 2-4 but still the best show out there .
