    Oh yeah, just remembered.

    The follow-up creation from the makers of The Office... is on BBC2 tonight.

    -Click-

    Those of you in the US with HBO will only have to wait until September (-Click-), though I'm betting any US Gervais fans will be renting tors tonight.

    Oh, just found this. Brilliant.

    shall have to watch the internet to make sure I can find a torrent of this show and give it a go. I am surprised that it got on to US TV so fast.

    Aye, looking quite forward to this. Even though I have sorta set my expectations lower since I doubt he can outdo The Office, although I think will be a different sort of humour~

    Anyway, I shall dl tonite!

    Hey americans, when's the american version of "The Office" starting up again? I can only watch season 1 so many times before getting a bit bored.

    Hmmm. Well, that was OK I guess. I'd say early reports about it losing place and momentum due to the segmented nature of it (in that first link) are about right, although it was pretty funny.

    Putting on The Catherine Tate show right after it made me appreciate it all the more though - I turned that off quick.

    The episode itself was pretty amusing, but too short, I guess having The Office DVDs to hand made the half-hour episodes easier to bare.

    There were some pretty damn funny Ben Stiller references "Dodgeball" and "Starsky & Hutch" and a general feeling that Stiller was almost taking over the Brent role, which he did well.

    The Ben Stiller bit was amusing, but I never really liked the office that much and this left me a bit cold as well. The whole excrutiating prick thing that Gervais has going no does nothing for me, so it was all a bit lost on me.

    Absolute Power was hilarious though, not seen it before and just happened to start wathcing it. Genuis!

    Was alright, yeah, but Ben Stiller was the funny one. I didn't find any of Ricky Gervais' bits particularly funny, and if I'm going to be honest I find the Office overrated.

    What did everyone think of last night's ep?

    I thought it had some amusing parts, but wasn't *that* funny. Plus, I think I agree more with the reviews that said it's missing the 'time and place' and 'momentum' of The Office so far.

    Still, it's better than most of the comedy on TV at the moment.

    The silence after the casualty line was a classic.
