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.

^Yes. That's why I love the english version of the office. It's funny, but it's also funny in a smart way, i love this video because it compares both versions:
David's dance is way funnier than Michael's.

I'm super into 24 and Biggest Loser-- opposite sides of the spectrum, but I like 'em. 24 is ludicrous but Kiefer Sutherland (a huge music fan I've heard-- he has his own label I believe) is great and makes it work-- he plays it so well! I mean, he's witnessed two nuclear bombs go off!

Biggest Loser on the other hand is such damn good motivation-- It's amazing to see everyone lose so much weight! The winner from last season is gorgeous now and should replace fugly Jared from Subway in their ads. They have this kid who's 19 and 450 lbs that I hope stays on and loses a ton cause he'll be dead by 30 otherwise. Anyone watching the new season??
Californication, Modern Family, Raising Hope and Secret Diary of a Call Girl
