Well I'll watch it if point plesant doesn't come on. 🙁

 

[Kenazo]

Looking forward to it. I sure hope it'll be better than their version of Coupling.

I may actually plan my night around a tv show for the first time because of this. I love the british show AND steve carrel. Usually adaptations of brit shows suck, but carrel kicks ass.

 

[artikk]

I'm looking forward to seeing the premiere. Looks like a show with a good future.

 

[NFS4]

WOOT 😀

 

[toekramp]

hooray, kinda has an arrested development feel with the way the use the cameras (judging from the clips on their website)

 

[Modeps]

I'll watch it at least once... how can I not after the previews:

"Guys, we're putting together a basketball team." 😀

 

[StageLeft]

I echo the above idea that, for once, I will actually make an effort to watch this. Maybe it will be good.

"Is there a term besides 'Mexican' you prefer? Something less offensive?"

"Mexican isn't offensive"

"Well, it has certain connotations."

[desteffy]

This should be good!

 

[rh71]

is this like office space ?

 

[MisterCornell]

Steve Carell is hysterical. He was great in Anchorman.

 

[imported_Mike]

awsome, I can't wait...been looking forward to this for long time.

It isn't getting good reviews from television critics.

 

[QuEeNyGuRl]

I saw an episode of the US version awhile ago and it really sucked. The acting was horrible, everything was forced out, I didn't laugh at all. I hope the US version doesn't give the BBC version a bad rep.

 

[aircooled]

I'll watch it. I like Steve Carrell. Hopefully I wont pass out drunk before 9:30

 

[NFS4]

BUMP
