mobb_deep 920 Posted May 13, 2006 I saw the basketball episode... that's "Season 1"? It's all been in the last few months, right? Also, I really think it's gotten better as it's been going, and I like the American version better than the Britt's. Britt's was good, but I really think that Carrel just makes the show. Granted though, I only saw 2 epi's of the Britt's version. Yah Carell definitely makes the show. Also alot of the references they make and just the overall style of comedy of the british show is different. British comedy is generally a little more subtle a indirect. If you asked a brit he would ofcourse swear up and down about how much better the british version it. Basketball is from season 1 though. Season 1 was only 6 episodes from mid March to the end of April in 2005. Season 1 was basically different parts and jokes of all three seasons of the UK office. Most of the plots and 75% of the jokes were pretty much verbatim to the original. Season 2 is when Carell and BJ Novak (Ryan the temp) started doing more of the writing. on another note... Steve Carell is so f'ing brilliant in Anchorman. Finally caught it on HBO a few nights ago and he completely makes that whole movie (along with Christina Applegates arse ofcourse ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The boss guy in thr Brit version is easily as funny as correl (better actually) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
