The Office, Not The Office

The second episode of the American version of The Office aired last night, and the debate is hot and heavy all over the Internet. My take on the series so far is that I would think it was funny, if I had never seen the Brit version of the show. Having been a fan of the original, I have to agree with a Television Without Pity message board poster who (to turn it into an Arrested Development reference-- everything turns into an Arrested Development reference, but I digress) described it as "weird brother of prime rib". That said, I think it's not terrible, and am rooting for it anyway because at least it's not Life on a Stick (which looks completely terrible).

But the Comic Book Guy in me will give credit where credit is due. The funniest was Steve Carell's Michael Scott talking about his heroes: "What they've done for the world... it's incalcl..bubble."
