The Office comes early
Through the wonder of livestats and google I just discovered the pre-release of the pilot for NBC's the Office due to launch next week and I'm both suprised and glad to say I was impressed. They have done a good job in my mind, deviating from the original scripts whilst maintaining some of the sensibilities of the orginal.
I came across metafilter.com's reviews after finding that someone found my site in search.yahoo.com while looking for "The Office NBC". I was curious how I ranked for the same in Google and found the news about the MySpace preview event.
I think most of the metafilter comments are hugely biassed and I'm curious if most of the comments were Brits. As an expat I followed the original series closely on the beeb and was also sorely disappointed to see the Coupling nonsense they turned out. I found myself laughing out loud a few times during the 20 minute pilot on MySpace this lunch time. Hope the rest of the shows work.
I
don't know if anyone know the answer but what happens to shows that get
canned after only a few episodes - do they just bin the rest of the
episodes they recorded or is there some way to buy copies of
them. Take the Coupling US version - I'd buy the DVD for
posterity and curiosity.
