Well, I think this proves that americans don't understand British comedies.

Your Views?

A bit of a far-fetched remark, but it is true. Even 20 years ago, most Americans were too fat and lazy to be bothered with walking a hundred yards. Which would have probably used up a lot of petrol, seeing as American cars are so oversized. Since when did a 4x4 need a six litre engine?

Because it burns off a litre every 10 minutes.

Although personally I think the office was a bit over-rated, I did none-the-less enjoy it quite a bit. But it was clear to me from the start that it's an english-only comedy, just why anyone thought the US would like it is beyond me.

And I'm happy they don't like it, it seems the entire world is becoming americanised these days, this is one series that is still just for us.

Thats the beauty of it, it also powers the deep fat frier, over, tv, microwave, massager-chair and smoke machine/exhaust.

Good point. All my friends start saying "ass" instead of "ar$e" etc. It's quite depressing :0(

just because it's the most popular doesn't mean it's the best.
it's got the largest target demographic, but it's by no means the best comedy.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
