I know there have been a lot and basically all of them except The Office have sucked. In fact, having seen and enjoyed the entire run of the original The Office I initially dismissed the American version as crap right off the bat. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it was actually pretty funny. It's rare, I don't know what our TV executives obsession is with doing awful remakes of British shows but I'd sure like them to stop.
