    Any fans out there?

    I started watching it a few years ago in the states and got hooked on it.

    Comedy Central plays it now and I have to say that I actually prefer it now to the British version.

    It's fantastic, watched it the other night on Comedy Central.

    I love the British version but I don't think you can really compare the two.

    Did you see him going to the shareholders meeting the other night?

    The first couple of series were pretty good, but I lost interest half way through the third one.

    Never seen it but never liked the Brit version. It was just TOO similar to real life to be a parody for me.

    I thought the 1st, 2nd & 3rd seasons were pretty funny. The 4th, 5th & 6th are hilarious. It has kind of dipped in the 7th series.

    It was on the other night. Michael was invited to the cmpany conference and given a limo to get there. He thought he was there because his branch was the most profitable but it was actually a bankrupcy shareholder meeting.

    I can't stand that **** now. But when the office came out he wasn't an arrogant prick, nobody knew who he was then. i thought it was brilliant.
