Rather than debating over television shows, why not pick up a book and read some literature?
British Office or american Office?
I say American because the Cast is wonderful.
?!
American?!
British not only is the original, it's the best.
Ever wondered why it was copied on the US?...
Duh!!
*rolls eyes and acts like an American teen... ridiculously self-centered*
I really don't think that liking the American version of a show more makes one self-centered
Ricky Gervais, I thought I told you to stop commenting about your stupid version of The Office already!
see heres the thing... jennifer aniston is fucking hot, and therefore will always be more well known than laurie, especially here in the states. fair or not, thats just how it works
I'm American and I know British comedy quite well. I grew up on and love shows like Blackaddar, Monty Python (the show, not the movies), Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Coupling (the original), Keeping up Appearances, The Vicor of Dibbly (sorry if i spelled it wrong), Are You Being Served, and a many others. They're amazing shows and it's a shame that more Americans aren't familiar with them. It just perpetuates the stereotype that we don't care about any country other than our own.
The fact that I don't watch British television has NOTHING to do with how I feel about that country. Are you implying that if Hitler watched movies from other countries this would somehow show he cared about those countries? What I think is sad is the importance so many people (regardless of their country of origin) place on pop culture and think that by knowing about different kinds of pop culture they are a more worldly person and like to write comments on the internet about how sad people are because those people don't share their interests. I find some British humor funny but for the most part I find it kind of boring. I find nothing wrong with someone who enjoys it because comedy is an art and everyone has different taste in art. So... stop judging people by the art they enjoy because it makes you sound like a stupid arrogant American :]

You must be incredibly proud of yourself. You are certainly no American slob. One can only assume that you have a masterful knowledge of all major cultures. The small mindedness of Americans never ceases to amaze me. I bet everyone in Singapore is well acquainted with Fawlty towers. I couldn't imagine anyone in Tokyo not knowing about the recent bollywood releases. It would just be uncivilized... The purpose of culture is to aid in the communication between similar backgrounds.The world is shrinking (or backgrounds expanding) and culture is becoming an increasingly global matter. This does not, however, negate the fact that countries, and therefore cultures, are still very much isolated from each other. To say that america dosnt care about any other country is only true insofar as any other country is guilty of the same thing. The real reason why this stereotype is perpetuated is much more complicated than it just being true and im not really knowledgeable enough to discuss it.
calm down. it's ok
