That video just led me to this...
Same script, same everything pretty much but with some American actors (and Moss, wtf?!)...its just plain weird what they decide to try with English comedy.
I wouldn't have thought so either till I lived over here. American's just dont have the cynicism and self deprecation in them that people from Ireland and the UK have.Carell's character just isn't believable at all to me.
Why's Toht not on here telling everyone how there's nothing wrong with remakes?
Oh come it's not that bad, it's the first episode and the actors hadn't bedded in. The director may be a problem too as the timing seems a bit off but that is something that could be fixed. The actual script is genius.
To me it is exactly the same but with American accents. Do not know what the fuss is about. Some of the dialogue is evern identical.
