    ...Then believe me when I say I'm a MASSIVE fan of both of them! haha! I actually rewatched all of the UK Office a couple of weeks ago. The two special episodes are just epic television!

    I definitely think that the US version caters to a wider audience. But that in no small part could be afforded to the greater resources available, the creative freedom that was allowed due to the originals success and a vastly increased number of episodes per season.

    I've really enjoyed 99% of the US Office, but the first 4 seasons particularly were amongst the best seasons of a comedy that you will ever see! ha!

    I hope the new season carries on as it has, started of, not iffy, just not as strong as we would expect. Comparing with the previous seasons, yes it wasn't quite as good. But the last few episodes have been great! Still only around halfway through as well so all is looking good on that front!

    the new season is brilliant a thought steve carell would be a massive loss but the other characters make up for him

    Yeah, they have a diverse and interesting character base that can always throw up fresh and funny things.

    I've started to watch an American High School Comedy. It's called Akward, I was skeptical about it, but it was high on a list of sitcom reviews for 2011. I'm on episode 3 now, I've been very impressed actually! hahaha!

    Very under-appreciated show too. Shame it only had 2 series.

    not really sure if it can be classed as asitcom but "Boston Legal" can be very funny.

    I haven't seen Community but the other three for me are peerless, absolutely perfect comedies.
