US version of 'The Office'

21C · 02-02-2005, 12:15 AM

The show will debut Tuesday March 22.

There is a preview available through the NBC website that features clips from the first few episodes. Mostly the script is identical to the original although some changes and additions have been made to suit the US audience.

looks painful.

Why remake it word-for-word? Ridiculous.

Oh dear... this is always a bad idea!

someone told me the other day this had tested so badly they decided not to air it. While I figured the last part of that wasn't true, it does seem there's already some bad buzz on this.

They already made a U.S. version. It was called "Office Space."
