Yep in fact maybe i was a bit harsh...going through the episode guide just now, series 3 & 4 are still very very high quality. For me its more after series 4 when it lost its originality & freshness, although still good in parts.
Favourite character is Jeff or Superhans :)

As an example this scene is brilliant. First time I saw it I cringed. You felt their embarrassment acutely. Its a bit of a "silly episode" over all but this sort of makes it all worth it.

I love the Office.. The first series when he asks the Asian fella to do an impression, then he goes.. "Oh sorry, that's the one one"

Asian fella "The other what?"

I love both the UK and the US office, although if you want to give the US version a chance, avoid the first series at all costs.

Also, I think it's unfair to compare the two, they are two totally different shows with the US version loosely based around the UK one.

Oh and LL....Beckham's using 'Seven' as a name, i see George Costanza was years ahead of his time !
New season of Curb premiered on HBO in the US on Sunday night, the episode is on the internet for those who want it enough.

as for coming out in the UK, More4 have the rights to it but they are only just showing season 7 at the moment. so much for Sky Atlantic!? The Eighth and final season of Entourage is about to premier on HBO too but no UK channel has any plans to air them here, dont think they even showed season 7 either!? bastards.

god bless the internet.
