Hey, I'm just copying something I've read on Gawker here, but all of the PSAs featuring cast members from The Office that were aired last night are available for viewing over at NBC.com and I thought they were very very funny when I saw them on the T.V., so there you go. And yes, I'm sure that the British version of The Office was better than the American version.

I've now seen a couple of the American Offices and I think I agree that if I had no knowledge of the British ones, I would probably like it quite a bit. It has much of the same quality as the British ones, that kind of uncomfortableness... but I cain't seem to really like the American one. I was shocked at how good it was, though. I think part of it is that all the actors on it are really good and in sort of the same way that the British ones are. But it's kind of like hearing a cover of a song you really like, it either has to be completely different (like Devo's 'Satisfaction', mmmm) or a very very good copy of the original in which case, why? If it's similar to the original but not identical, you'll just miss the original. OK, I'll shut up. -Andrew
I really didn't want to like the American version since I loved the British one so much ---- but----there's a certain melancholy sweetness that's grown on me....
As long as NBC doesn't try to do a version of "League of Gentlemen", I can live with The Office...
ps: your cover song comments are oddly reminicent of Simon /American Idol....
