"This guy is hysterical. Has anyone here seen The Office? (The British version, not the American one.)"
I've never seen the British version; thought the US version was hysterical. I'm assuming (the US version) was canceled (so soon).
I would strongly sugest renting the original BBC version, it's on DVD, compared to that the NBC version is really weak.
Nope. The US version was renewed, it's just that the first season was really, really short. (6 episodes, IIRC.)
