Okay..I'm a limey..and have seen BOTH now...to 'hate' the original is a LITTLE bit excessive! Bottom line, to me is that British and American humour have become closer over the last decade...when they weren't before. The (uk) Office is derivative of Spinal Tap and to a lesser extent Larry Sanders..then came (uk) Alan Partridge...then The Office and Arrested Development.The original is more subtle..but if you hate it, you still have to 'thank it' cos this remake wouldn't have happened otherwise.
There seems to be two branches of American humour on Television at the moment.
One branch - shows like Arrested Development, 30 Rock and The Office. You've gotta think a little.
The other branch - you're typical generic crap like "Two and a half Men" - fits with the other crap like Everybody Loves Raymond. Lowest Common Denomenator type stuff.
Dumbledore Calrissian who has to return the ring to Mordor.
wow! i love this!
i feel his pain, i really do. except i don't watch Battlestar Galatica. instead, i read books and if someone messes up on describing any of the books (mostly Twilight, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings) i would be all over them ^_^
Perfectly written (although luckily for Jim, Andy wasn't quite familiar with either version of Battlestar). Love Andy's acting in this scene too. And c'mon people, it's "Calrissian." What kind of nerds are you? Hmph. Now I need a glass of Colt 45...
This scene must've been so much fun to make. They had to have known it was gonna be a huge laugh for us. Great stuff. I love Dwight crunching the paper, we've all been there.
this might have been the funniest thing on the show ever, and that's saying a lot...whichever writer came up with Dumbeldore Calrision deserves a fat bonus...
I thought "bears, beets, battlestar gallactica..." would forever hold the spot as the funniest scene in office but this very well might trump it. Brilliant.
They are both amazingly funny shows. Quit squabbling like 4 year olds over bullshit semantics. You would have to be ignorant to not like either show.

I actually hated the original office, way too dry. Just sucked all the humour out the room.
The remake is actually funnier.

The original is a goofy dumb joke of a show. Bad for its time, even worse now.
The remake is the best sci-fi show ever made, and one of the best dramas ever made as well.
