I've always wondered, as an American who regularly watches the US Office (and, occasionally, the UK Office on Adult Swim here in the US), is the American version of the Office popular in Britain?

[ToManyPhones]

Not really. Season 4 hasn't even aired yet, but it's on quite alot on our version of Comedy Central who air season 2 and 3. The channel which runs newer episodes always has it on at 2am and stupid times like that anyway.

[patient451]

That's lame. But then again, The Office UK was just picked up for like an 11 PM time slot on Adult Swim (a program with a 17-25 year old male demographic) on Friday nights, so I suppose that's fair. I've just always been curious how Britain received the American version - as far as popularity is concerned.

[ToManyPhones]

Personally, I prefer the US version A LOT more. The American version's much more likeable.

@ToManyPhones Blasphemy!!

@patient451 US version of the office is light, easy, sitcom type viewing & so airs on the comedy central channel with other shows u can jus pick up & leave from any point (like old repeats of 3rd rock from the sun and two & a half men). it is not massively popular here, its jus like tv fodder.

the original was widely viewed here cos it aired on BBC which is available to all tv viewers and had a massive cult following where every scene was cherished.
