The American version of 'The Office' is fantastic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a huge, huge fan of almost everything British. I love 'The Office' - I was a faithful follower of that show before the American version.
Well, one of the things I love about 'The Office' is that it has so much heart.
I love 'The Office' format so much that I wanted to close it out.
The great thing about 'The Office' and it being single-camera and the documentary style is that it's mostly a comedy, but 10 percent of it is, we get to show the existential angst that exists in the American workplace.
'The Office' is an amazing show. So is 'Extras.'
I've fallen in love with shows like 'Homeland' and 'The Wire.' And I think 'The Office' is in a category like that.
American television constantly tries to co-op British comedy and create their own version of it. Most of the time it doesn't work; obviously, in the case of 'The Office,' it did. But a lot of times, it doesn't really work.
I thought The Office was good, though I didn't think of it as a sitcom, just as a very good programme.
Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.
I like 'The Office.' I particularly like the British version with Ricky Gervais. Of course, I liked the 'Seinfeld' show a lot. I thought that was an awfully good show.
