Where's David Brent?
With the Thursday premiere of the American version of The Office, NY Times follows up on Ricky Gervais, a.k.a. David Brent, to see how life is going post-Office. (Ugh, that pun was kind of David Brentish). I love how Ricky also loves Arrested Development and is writing a Simpsons episode! For me that would be, like, the trifecta: AD, Simpsons and The Office all rolled into one giant blunt of goodness. Yay!

I have hopes for the American version of The Office, but have been completely disappointed by the previews. It has that funny guy who used to be on the Daily Show, but somehow it just feels more... slapstick or something, not like that awkward "I'm so embarrassed for him" feeling that you would get while watching the British series. The previews definitely feel more sitcommy. And I can't imagine a better character than David Brent. But I'll watch at least the first episode anyway. Let's hope they don't screw it up too much!
