The Office
I know there are a lot of UKers here, but this just came out on DVD here. I heard about it and everything, and saw him win the Golden Globe and it made me wonder how good it was. So I rented it last night.

This show is friggin' comedic genius. Wow. Hilarious. I wish it hadn't ended after the second season, but may as well go out on top. I can't wait until the 2nd season comes out on DVD. I know for some people "Brit wit" is an acquired taste, but I've always liked it, and this is/was great.

Umm...anyone seen it/thoughts?

And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath decended forth from thy hand
so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Also just so you know, it didn't actually stop at the 2nd series. There were 2 more christmas specials made last year to end the program, and that was it.

No like most Americans he probably thinks that Monty Python and Fawlty Towers are the be all and end all of British comedy.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but it's better than making a new one.

Just got the DVD set of Series 1 & 2 plus the Special. I had never seen the Special before but, just as I suspected, it was comedic brillance. Especially Brent's rendition of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and the video. Genius.

I liked how it tied up the loose ends too. I honestly think the Dawn/Tim relationship is one of the best "I hope these two get together" things on T.V.
