Anyone seen this show? It's on 9:30PM Tuesdays on NBC.
It hits a lot of racial subjects, so it might not be for everyone...but I think it's so damn hilarious.
This has got to be the best show no one talks about. So yeah, discuss.

i saw it last week and couldn't quite figure out what was going on, but it was funny.
It's great, the British show? with Ricky Gervais? Won a lot of awards here. They're not making any more though, 2 series and 2 Christmas Specials.
I think it's a new US version.
I haven't seen the U.S. version, but I loved the British show.
Apparently, the U.S. version is on the fence between renewal and cancellation. It'd be a shame if it gets canceled before it has a chance to find an audience.
Why on earth did they make a US version? They do that all the time with British comedies & it never works. British humour is best kept British & vise versa. The original British version was probably too subtle for the American audience.
I'm American. I got the humor just fine thankyouverymuch.Originally Posted by Cuchulainn
That's fantastic MirielI'm American. I got the humor just fine thankyouverymuch.
I'm not sure if you get it or not.
I don't think you've seen the American version, because you would know that this show pushes the envelope no matter what country it's in. Especially in a country like the US (which is much more diverse than Britain), a comedy like this can get a lot of negative feedback. However, most of the minority critics found the show to be very hilarious.
I'm not sure what you mean by "British humour", but when a show moves to another country, it usually adapts to the culture in that country. Look at what happened to Banzai, Japanese humor in the US was quickly flattened. No one in the US found it funny, so it was axed in a matter of weeks.
I'm not sure if "The Office" is actually a show from Britain or not, just be aware that there can be two different shows with the same name. Just because 2 boys are named John doesn't mean they're the same person.
If it's a spoof reality TV show showing office life, it's an American version of British show.
Yes, but the version in the US is NOT a reality show. It's a comedy show. But you still don't know if it actually is an American version of the show, and neither do I. Heck, you just asked if this was an American version of the show. I can't confirm that it is, so maybe you're thinking of the wrong show.
The British show wasn't a reality TV show either, it was a comedy that was shot in a documentary-style to give the illusion of reality.
The American show The Office IS based off the British show. And from what I understand, the show is shot in the same "spoof reality" style.
I haven't seen the U.S. version, but some of my childhood heroes come from the British one.
Read what I say properly before posting please, thnx.Yes, but the version in the US is NOT a reality show. It's a comedy show. But you still don't know if it actually is an American version of the show, and neither do I. Heck, you just asked if this was an American version of the show.

The British version
The American version.
Same show, just made more relevant for US audiences.
