It was renewed by NBC despite lousy ratings.

I posted that news last night in that other thread about The Office potentially being cancelled.

I enjoyed both. It's on the fall lineup NBC released yesterday. Current season is over as there were only 6 episodes (or there abouts).

I hate all the idiots trashing the US version... it's frigging hillarious.

"abraham lincoln once said that if you're a racist, i will attack you with the north" <-- great example of the comedic genius that is 'the office' :D

i watched part of an episode and it was too forced

not natural office comedy like office space or dilbert

they need to get new writers maybe

it was a good show for NBC, IMO.

however i think it got bad ratings because with shows like Friends people arent used to not being told when to laugh when theres no laugh track

It definitely grew on me, but I can see how others say that some of the laughs are forced. They go a bit over the top with many of what they have Steve Carrell do. He's the most obnoxious part of the show. The supporting cast is great.
