The Office: A Completely Original Show
Maybe you've heard of The Office, the hit sitcom? The British one? It's one a few big awards in their. Maybe not? Britain is, like, pretty small. Not a lot goes on there.
No really, it's a great show. I like it a lot, because it's one of the few TV shows that draws humor from situations that in no way could be considered funny if they weren't actually recorded.
Anyway, if you've missed The Office on DVD or BBC cable, you can catch the American version on NBC. The idea is, they take the show and most of the characters, and change the setting to America, changing some jokes to suit American-speaking audiences.
Maybe this sounds like a good idea to you, but that's because you crazy. Imagine for a moment that you have known a group of people for a couple of years, okay? Suddenly, they change their names, look different, have different accents, and act just a little bit differently. It's frightening.
And they took out the best character, Gareth, the emaciated, ghoul-like loser who sexually harasses every woman he meets. He's pretty much the most delightful person I've ever met. I guess they thought he was too obscene and awesome for NBC.
They also took the only two characters that are more or less decent people, and made them younger and more attractive for some reason. That bothers me. It's cool that no one in the British show is very good-looking. More realistic, you know? Good people can be ugly too.

, atWell, duh. The point is that there's a difference between the language that denizens of the United States and those of Britain speak.
