Yeah, I dunno Billo. Initially I would have agreed with you but the US version has really grown me. One thing the US version has over the UK one is that I understand US culture far more than British culture considering that my favourite sport is American, my favourite music is American and the majority of tv shows I watch are American. Thus I think some of the storylines are funnier in the US version. However, the biggest weakness with the US version is the 'Gareth' equivalient 'Dwight' isn't nearly as funny or unique.
BTW, can someone tell me what has happened to the new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Channel 9 showed a couple of episodes late on Sun night but i haven't seen it since?
Also, completely agree with you Isaac about the Wedge. Shows like The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Chaser are 100 times funnier.
