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

Your Views?

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.

Because it burns off a litre every 10 minutes.

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?

Lazyness, Cars, fastfoods, technolgy makes them fat and Britain are gaining on them

Americans are too fat to get off their lardy fat soaked seats to even find the remote, which is probably sucked deep inside their fat, to switch the office on.

Fat fools.

Friends is nice and escapist, but nothing to Blackadder for comedy.

Blackadder is side splitting.

If this internet connection would get off it's backside, I'd have seen that you posted that before me, but since I was waiting around 10 minutes fo the damn thing to go from message screen back to thread, I missed it. I didn't know it was referring to the Yank version and not the UK one so :P

Nah, Friends is in a different league to Red Dwarf. Only Fools and Horses is, of course, excellent, but doesn't have that level of enjoyment that you can just sit down and watch it at any time.

Friends is always funny, brilliantly written, with likable characters and beautifully watchable.
