Oh come on, when there are probably 4 times as many US episodes in the can than there are UK ones, of course there will be original material conjured up by the writers. I'm not saying there is no new material, simply that it offers nothing different to any UK viewer who has seen the original series, therefore it offers me (and them) nothing particularly fresh or new. It doesn't offer an alternative viewing experience, just more of the same only not as funny.
What part of the future tense do you not understand? I did not state that the US Office has dragged on for too long; rather that, like most all US shows, it is most likely to. You cannot cite the current quality of the show as an argument to counter the statement that the show will fade away to a shell of its former self.
I happened to find Friends one of the most enjoyable shows I had ever seen during it's early years but by the last season I had had enough already. Like 90% of US TV shows, it was overextended to its bitter, tired end.
Typical Yank arrogance to believe that you can take one of the greatest comedy shows ever made and somehow improve upon it. Even more arrogant, upon failing to do so, to claim that you have.
