This pisses me off. I guess I'd watch, but I'd feel dirty. Maybe not. You guys like both Offices...so I guess it could work.

Bah. I just hope season 2 of the UK version makes it back to BBCA soon and I can keep up with that one.

Someone on imdb says they'll probably make 20 f@#$ing episodes of the show for season one and it will make for 14 mediocre to boring shows and 5 or 6 good ones. Sad.



HAAAAAAAA...you read the comments on IMDB.

Fag.

Why the gay bashing JD? God, that's just so easy. Why? Why do that? What is wrong with you? You suck dick or somethin'?

Just that one and I didn't like it one bit.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

Those Brits have integrity when it comes to TV shows. This is excellent.

Just like The Office (UK). They had a story to tell and told it. As much as I like the show I'm glad that they aren't going to drag it out.

I was going to post something similar.  The Office left me craving so much more.  In retrospect, I think that's a good thing.

It's a great thing. You can never say, "Hey remember when the Office was crappy for those few seasons?" I'm glad they're doing this.

Yes, although I think they do have enough material to make a third season.  But I should be happy with what we get, so I'll shut up now.

They might have been able to do a third season because the videos they did for Microsoft show that there is still a lot of David Brent material they could have done, but they ended the show before it could get repetitive. And Life on Mars is a great concept, but I think that the concept has a limited shelf life before it turns into just another cop show. A really good cop show with great characters, but they can only keep the plausiblity of the 1973 world going for so long.

Yeah, I actually meant Life on Mars.  I thought The Office ended at the exact moment it should have, even if that moment came really early in the life of the series.
