I just started re-watching the UK version. It took me two episodes to realize how funny it was the first time I saw it. I haven't seen any of the US version because I couldn't see how it would translate to the US market, but I guess I could give it a try. I do like Steve Carell.
Red Shoe, I totally agree with you on length of series. The British have one or two great seasons, then end and move on. That's definitely the way to do it.
If you want to see something SUPER funny, watch "Britain's Got The Pop Factor ... And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soap star Superstar Strictly On Ice". It's a 2 hour tv special that totally rips on American Idol shows. BRILLIANT stuff. I can't believe it played on tv and people "got it."
