I'm more of a fan of the British Office but I really like how NBC took the concept and gave it it's own unique touch. While similar, the characters are different. Carrell is less of an a-hole and more neurotic than Gervais was and Dwight's character is a little less annoying and way more kiss a$$ than his british equivalent, Gareth. Also, I went to college in Scranton PA so it's nice to see all the subtle references to the town itself. I hope this show lasts and i'm suprised America has embraced it...
