THE OFFICE

[carlos3652]

Who watches this show? I TIVO it every Tuesday... I think its the funniest show ever...

I can relate to almost every character in this show... (more like the young guy)

Having a crush on the married women (engaged in the show), etc...

Anyone else watch it... my other friends dont care for it...

[KCTitus]

Best show on TV...the wife HATES it, though. Ive found this trend among my friends as well.

[CosmicPal]

It's the only show besides Scrubs, I'll watch.

I think it's funny, but I find it can be rather dull and pretentious sometimes. The characters are great, and I think it's hilarious at times.

[|Zach|]

I love it and Scrubs.

[BigMeatballDave]

I love it. Hope it comes back this fall...

"Hey, did you get your tickets to the show?"
"What show?" "The gun show"

ROFL Priceless...

How about the one where that guy was in charge of health insurance and made people say what they would need it for in the meetings.

[Hoover]

I think it sucks. I had high hopes. Its just to over the top.

"everyone's forming an alliance"

That had to be one of the funniest things ever... "no dental, no vision, $1200 in deductables... this sucks"

"Ok, who made up this disease...?"

[carlos3652]

"everyone's forming an alliance"

Survivor at its best... (as he dyes his hair blonde)...

[carlos3652]

"This isnt the surprise is it...

"No....

[jspchief]

I love it. It's just painful to watch what an insensitive dick the boss is.

[carlos3652]

She is like the new improved Pam... Pam v6.0..."

[the Talking Can]

much better than I expected, but you have to see the original which is simply amazing...

I too relate with the young guy, having an affair with a married girl in my office :p

[carlos3652]

I love it. It's just painful to watch what an insensitive dick the boss is.

He deserves his own show though... after Bruce Almighty and Anchor Man... he was so funny...

Happy Birthday...

But my birthday is not till next month...
-------------------------
Its my birthday today...

Do you want me to tell anyone....

No, please dont...

[carlos3652]

Me too.... but she was a divorced 31 year old... i cant do married... its just not moral... lol

[Thig Lyfe]

I think it's hilarious, and I've seen the British original too. Both are great in their own ways.

[Ultra Peanut]

Can't match the original, but it ranks highly when being compared to its American counterparts.

Gare--err, Dwight busting his way out of the box as the warehouse worker looked on may have been my favorite moment.

Not surprisingly, it's gotten bad ratings and may not get renewed, because America is ****ing retarded.

[redfan]

I saw a coupla eps of the GB version awhile back, and I'd say this is a good USA equiv. Steven Carrell is very funny, and makes the show for me. I also liked the boss in the GB version. I think the British version has a slightly funnier cast, and has a better fake doc quality to it. The "you're actually not getting fired for stealing from the company, it's a joke" bit was great in the British version.

[tyton75]

I like the comedy of the show.. and sometimes hits too close to home!

but i'm not sure if I like the "documentary" style that its filmed in..

[Iowanian]

I've watched it 2-3 times, and honestly, don't know why its still on the air.

Count me as a hater so far.

[Iowanian]

I too relate with the young guy, having an affair with a married girl in my office :p

Her husband should run you both through a wood chipper.

[dilligaf]

I cant stand this show.

[BigMeatballDave]

Not surprisingly, it's gotten bad ratings and may not get renewed, because America is ****ing retarded.This is terrible news.
:cuss:

Maybe they should just call it 'Law and Order: Whore Watch' or CSI: Katmandu. We need more of those shows... :rolleyes:

[Rain Man]

I saw the pilot and liked it, other than the boss being just a little too unrealistic and irritating. I haven't seen it since, though. I'll have to check it out.

[Pitt Gorilla]

[Ultra Peanut]

Count me as a hater so far.Sorry you wasted time watching that while you could've been watching your stash of Everybody Loves Raymond bootleg DVDs.

[Ultra Peanut]

It's been airing on NBC, but its initial "trial run" of six episodes (which were, by the way, written by Ricky Gervais -- David Brent) has concluded, and I dunno if they'll be airing it again any time soon.

[Thig Lyfe]

People who hate the American one because they love the British one are arrogant morons. They can't get over themselves because they think they're special. "Oh, it can't possibly match the original! Fa fa fa!" Come on. I've seen the original, too, and it's a classic. But the US version is great as well in its own way.

So there.

[Beatlemanu]

American, British one, doesn't really make a difference if they don't renew it... I think the British one is slightly better too, but I love the American one too, the bosses are the key. The American boss has his own style, which I think is hilarious... All in all, if this show is not renewed, then I don't know why, other than scrubs (which I know a lot of you like too), it's probably the funniest show on TV.

What the hell is funny on TV these days???

So there.Pretty much. It can't -- and doesn't -- match the original, but it's pretty damn good in its own right.

[Ultra Peanut]

What the hell is funny on TV these days???You mean network TV? Arrested Development, the Office, Scrubs (don't watch it a lot, but it's funny), and, uh.. that's pretty much all I can list.

[Beatlemanu]

Arrested Development, Adult Swim (Family Guy, Venture Brothers, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Robot Chicken in particular) Scrubs (don't watch it often, but when I do, it's good), and, uh.. that's pretty much all I can list.

I've been meaning the check out Arrested Development for a while, but never have. What channel is that on??? Adult swim's okay, love the family guy, haven't seen the other ones you listed...

[tk13]

It's probably the funniest show on TV. Love it. I sure hope it doesn't get cancelled.

[carlos3652]

I hope they renew... But I doubt it... I would want to know what happens with the young guy and Pam.

Dwight thinking he is Assistant manager of sales is funny too...

You are Assistant "to" the manager.... Dwight

Whatever...

[Beatlemanu]

You're f*ck out of luck on Arrested Development. Their second season just ended.

Thats okay, if it's half way decent I'll probably just buy the DVD's, I usually end up missing shows at there normal times anyway...

[Baby Lee]

much better than I expected, but you have to see the original which is simply amazing...
I concur. I went into this version with trepidation, because the original was near perfect. But they managed to keep a lot of good stuff and add some quality 'Americanization.'

"To you want to keep the sports drink?"
"What flavor is it?"
"Blue."
"Blue isn't a color. . . Oh! Jet Blue. . . yeah, keep it."

[Baby Lee]

What the hell is funny on TV these days???
Deadwood
Two and a Half Men
Scrubs
The Office
Gilmore Girls

Arrested Development [fingers crossed]

That's about it.

But I just saw that HBO picked up Gervais' new vehicle 'Extras' where he follows Extras around on Hollywood sets. Supposed to be good as well.

[keg in kc]

It's funny in this weird painful way. It's like I'm watching, and I know what's going to happen, but I still think to myself "no way, he's not going to say/do that" and then he does. I can't remember a show that made me laugh and cringe at the same time so much, not even South Park.

I thought they turned that running joke around deftly last night.

"You ought to go for it, Dwight."
"What'll she see in me."
"Dude! You're Assisant Regional Manager."
[glumly] "Assistant to the Regional Manager."

If that's what you like best about it, not watching the original is UNACCEPTABLE.

Both seasons and the finale X-mas special are all available on DVD. Stick 'em in the ol'd Netflix que.

Speaking of Deadwood... BL, do you just rewind your TiVo and transcribe your sigs yourselfI hate to admit that I rewind my DVR at least twice an episode so I can be sure I heard Al right. ROFL

[Baby Lee]

Speaking of Deadwood... BL, do you just rewind your TiVo and transcribe your sigs yourself, or have you found a site w/ the scripts on them?

I hate to admit that I rewind my DVR at least twice an episode so I can be sure I heard Al right. ROFL

Al: Summon from Farnum that c^nt with the long kraut moniker.
Johnny: E.B. ain’t been over for coffee.
Al: Should I ask if Farnum’s come for coffee before I get you to summon that c^nt? (Johnny goes, Al looks down at “the box” sitting next to him.) Dead and without a body, you still outstrip him for intelligence.

And I love to death the fear in Dority's eyes as he tries desperately to keep up with Al's musings. He downed 4 straight shots as Al explained why they didn't need to go to Cheyenne last week.
Then he responds to Al's prodding as to what happens next, and he nervously answers

"F*cks himself up the ass—Tolliver?"

Hoping to God he'd followed along enough to keep Al keeping faith in him.

Great stuff.
