Nothing special, really.

Had to force myself to like it at times.

Tomorrow's episode better be good.

Friends is brilliant. Just because it's American doesn't mean it can't be far funnier than the godawful Phoenix Nights. And it is. As is Buffy. (Sorry.)

I'm not a massive fan of Phoenix Nights either. It's made me laugh a few times, but nothing I would go out of my way to watch.

And you're right - Buffy is funnier. Best comedy I've ever seen, in fact.

I hate Friends so much. Sniggered once in the episodes I've seen, and I think it was more laughter at the amount the Americans laughed at the most insignificant event.

Phoenix Nights is excellent sometimes, but a lot of it is not 'laugh out loud' but things that, granted, get a little chuckle, but thats it.

And his burnt disabled boy. Heh heh :D

Absolute genius, Theres no other comment I can give to such a marvelous series. I was in tears for the last 2 specials, They we're so frecking brilliant, I felt saddened by the end of it.

The office aint your average "HAR HAR HAR *cue laugh* HAR HAR" type comedy, it's sublime and witty, and it really shows that Gervais and Merchant have put some attention into making it to a degree of comedy perfection.

Having watched all 14 episodes of the series, I feel sad that it's hit the end of it all, but I agree that making a third would dampen the series. It's like we got to "know" or associate the characters with our own lifes, as if we knew them personally. The whole "Dawn & Tim" scenario was nail bitingly brilliant and, seeing the ending, put an extra smile on my face.

The Office = Brilliance x 2

Friends is good. But both Scrubs and MITM beat it into a bloody mush. Will & Grace, however, is painfully wooden and very poor.

But, with the fine exception of Scrubs, most British comedy beats anything American. Spaced, Black Books and Peep Show of recent godliness. And the older ones, of course, Fawlty Towers and Dad's Army both legendry.

All except Only Fools and Horses, which is the worst programme ever. To call it comedy would be an insult to every other show ever created.
I don't like it very much, by the by.
