Sky Sports Premier League had a decent enough show on there today...
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Yessir 😉

Classic episode. Classic show. They didn't make enough series. Thankfully the American version made up for that.

Agree. Both quality. If pushed id say overalll the US version superior but i always doff me cap to the original as without it there would be no other versions. Watched and recorded that one last night. Rewatched today. The songs are superb 😊

The American Office or Parks and Recreation?

Parks for me. Ron a great character.

Parks vv good and yes Ron is great but Michael is peerless and most of the US Office was excellent imo

The Office well beats P&R for me. Big fan of both editions of The Office. I could watch the interactions between Gareth/Tim and Jim/Dwight all day. Like you said the sentiment attached to the original always made it special but the American version has a much greater spread of great characters in Kevin, Andy, Pam, Toby, Stanley, Darryl and Creed.

Agree. Wider scope of characters for sure.

The subtleties of eg Gareths faces while Brent sings and as you say Jim and Dwight had some great interactions. Loved big Kevin (and the scotch egg eating Keith) Stanley was a ledge, big Darryls last episode where they did the song and dance could be watched again and again too.

Would rewatch US Office anytime. Big time commitment tho. UK Office has already been watched several times 😊

The Tim/Gareth rivalry is so much better than the Jim/Dwight one. The Steve Carrell character is not a patch on Brent.

I'll politely disagree 😃 but theyre all great

US Office has restarted this week on sky showcase/comedy. Its almost as if i was meant to rewatch.

On another note ill add Jimmy Carr to my list of stars i refuse to watch.

Wifey is watching The Missing on iplayer, Jimmy Nesbitt one. Any good? Im just watching bits of it..

Im rambling i know 😎

Two things I found out today while surfing the dodgy box for a new series to watch.

They have remade Turner and Hooch and it's now a series

They have also remade The Wonder Years, Kevin is a black kid now  :o

Not on the TG4 re-runs he's not!

Are they not overdoing it with the black thing? Watched a bit of the Darling Buds of May remake, and it looked like there was hardly a white man living in Kent in the 50's  ;D

The equaliser with queen Latifah as the equaliser :o

(Denzel was great and arguably better than Woodward but latifah certainly is not)
