True. Apart from the first few episodes (or maybe just the very first one, I can't quite remember) they are two entirely different shows. They had to be.
The original only ran for about 12 episodes and the specials. That allowed it to keep quite an authentic feel. It was like a real documentary in the sense that you knew you were only watching edited moments of the characters lives. And the backbone of it was the romantic interest between Tim and Dawn, which spanned the entire length of the series. The American one has made about 150 episodes now. They can't do that, so they have to make it something very different. It's good though. |
The first series of the US version used the same script and stories, just adapted slightly for the American audience (changing a few words here and there so they are relevant to a different audience). I think some of series 2 may have been similar as well, but the majority of series 2 was original.
|
Right. I do seem to remember the odd scene here and there that was very similarly scripted. The first episode was the exact same script though, wasn't it? I could be slightly wrong, it's a while since I watched the very first series now.
|
I dont think it was exactly the same, no. Didnt Ryan feature in episode 1 of the US version, whereas Ricky the temp only joined about halfway through the UK version? I cant actually remember clearly, and didnt enjoy series 1 of the US version enough to want to re watch it all and find out lol.
Wikipedia's episode guide of series 1 seems to bear no resemblance to the UK version at all in fact; The Office (U.S. season 1) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Hmm. I felt as though it was. Oh well, it was at least the one written by Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais. Maybe that's all it was.

I've started watching Castle recently. I usually hate (HATE! HATE! HATE!)cop dramas, but this one has Nathan Fillion being Nathan Fillion as only Nathan Fillion can be. So it is awesome.

I was watching this show called auction hunters purley by chance. They bid on a storage rooms full of peoples left behind posessions.
Dude scores a 1979 Fender Strat. American made in mint condition..all original nothing tampered with. Also a Fender amp but they didnt go into detail as to what size or model it was. Their bid on that storage room was 275$ They got 2,200 for the guitar and amp alone. Somewhat interesting show I guess |
re-watching Six Feet Under. it's just as good as I'd remembered.
|
I'm watching Supernatural from the beginning and loving every minute of it.
|
probably watching Misfits and the new Hawaii 5-0 if and when they come to terrestial stations here (network tv for ya guys)
|
speaking of Misfits I need to watch the second series. I loved the first one.
|
FRINGE, really one of the only good shows left on network television.

Watching Sopranos season 3. Going to catch up on Treme in time for the new season to begin. Probably going to follow The Killing. And perhaps Game of Thrones. Oh, and Community. That's it at the moment I think. Have to catch up on Breaking Bad before july.
|
Saw the pilot for Workaholics. Looks interesting thinking I'll keep watching it.
|
Still waiting for the Doctor Who premiere.

^ DR WHO! Can't wait for season 2!
Been getting into Misfits (quite late on it actually - all my friend have already seen the 2nd series and I'm lagging behind with 3 episodes of the 1st series) and waiting and wishing for a new permanent host on Never Mind the Buzz****s. Preferably Simon Amstell again. Miss him like crazy :( |
Ive started with the ol shows I use to watch. Mostly whatever comes on discovery now days. I like the biograph channel as well sometimes. Man vs Wild, whale wars,deadliest catch, and things like that really interest me the most though.
|
Parenthood - an okay family drama
|
frisky dingo. wish theyd come out with a new season.
|
Shark Tank and Big Bang Theory are the two best shows on TV.
|
Been watching every season of The Office on netflix. Though netflix has been acting up today, so the quality is shit.
|
I just started watching Flashpoint. I tried to watch a few episodes when it first started and I loved it but it conflicted with other programming that I recorded so that's why I didn't keep up with it.

I just bought Band of Brothers and The Pacific on Blu Ray, so I'm watching those and the new AMC show The Killing.
|
been watching twin peaks a lot. So far i'd say it's overrated, at least the supernatural element of it.
|
I finally got caught up with The Event. I like the show but I don't want to really get too into it because it keeps giving me this feeling that it's going to get canceled which I think it might have already. I have to look it up.
|
probably getting all the seasons of M.I. 5 on DVD (British spy series)

Mad Men, season one.
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/graphics...-S1_DVDext.jpg Still waiting for it to get good. Hasn't really held my interest up to this point. I guess I will finish the season and see where it goes. |
