southsider2k5 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 New show on NBC tuesday nites, has anyone else watched it yet? I loved it. It is a lot like the movie "Office Space" without the whole love interest thing going on. It is on after Scrubs and before Law & Order SVU. I highly recommend checking it out, if you have not.

Kid Gleason Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I saw the last 15 minutes of it last week and thought it was pretty friggin' funny. I plan to watch it tonight now. I am VERY curious though as to how the UK original is, since supposedly the guy who stars in that one is beyond great and unlike anybody that has ever been on TV before. I guess that guy IS the show. I know you can get the DVD's, so they will be going into my Netflix queue as soon as it dwindles down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 No, but I will, the previews looked hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt35 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I've seen the first season of the British version on BBC. No idea what the Americanized product is like, but the previous incarnation was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 See my avatar. The BBC version will always be king. The first episode of the US version was almost exactly the first episode of the UK version word for word. I was glad to see last night's episode of the US version only stole a few jokes from the orignal. Hopefully it starts to pave its own way even more.

Gene Honda Civic Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 The Newsroom will be back on Sunday nights on WTTW starting this week I think... That show was fricken hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see the US version, to see how they've tweaked the show to suit a different audience. Hopefully they did a better job with The Office, than they did with "Coupling" , although I personally hated Coupling - a "Friends" wannabe, if ever I've seen one.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I watched half of this weeks episode. Didn't do much for me. I turned it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
