I will say that NBC's The Office is getting better...

It's growing into something beyond the British version, because whereas the BBC show depends heavily on 3 or 4 main characters, the american version is damn near ensemble in nature. By that, I mean that almost every character is good for laughs.... they all get more lines, they've all been developed more than they were on BBC...

Because of that, it's bound to appeal to more people. You're more likely to relate to one or more characters, hence more likely to relate to and get the jokes...

Altho I did find the BBC version to be hilarious, in the end I think the American version is funnier, and at the end of the day... it's just better...

Of course, this is completely relative...

As is the opinion this entire thread is predicated on.
