Hmm... im little biased on the subject... but I have to say the US version is much funnier (than whats in those clips)
You have to watch the BBC version from the beginning - it is a classic work and far better than its American cousin. But, the American version is still very good - especially compared to the rest of television.
The UK verison is so slow....but it is much more realistic...everyone is ugly and dull.. you can just hate anyone of them The US verison is in much faster pace,,and everyone look so bright and attractive (beside Meredith) and i feels like i can be friend with them + PAM is way much better than Dawn, PAM is way too hot to be a receptionist
I totally agree and when watching the American version I could only cringe at it but I suppose its because I have watched and loved the UK version since the start.
Steve Carell really makes the US version. I was skeptical of Jim moving to a new branch, but I think it's really improved the show. "Big Tuna" and the call of duty parts were priceless. Jim is the balls.
The first episode of the American series was AWEFUL, as it was word-for-word from one of the British episodes. It was not until later where totally new story lines developed that I learned to appreciate the new version. The British version is still golden.
