The Office - US Style

One of the best sitcoms ever produced, The Office, has been given the US treatment. I had thought this might be a disaster but if you follow the link to The Office (US) version you can judge for yourself (Thanks to Inspector Sands at Casino Avenue).
It has been executive produced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and perhaps that explains why I actually found this funny, and why I think this is one sitcom that might just survive the Transatlantic journey......although whether our friends over the water find it funny remains to be seen. And the US David Brent? Well, on this showing he has the potential to be even more crass, insensitive and irritating than Ricky's version.

Let me know what you think.....
