DVD Review: The Office: Series 1

Last night we watched the entire first season of the BBC (and original) version of "The Office." I'd seen a couple of the episodes before, but it was nice to see the whole set at once. It's eerie after watching the NBC version. The casting is incredibly similar. British Tim looks just like the American. And Steve Carrell seems to do an impersonation of his British counterpart. Also, the whole bit about the first NBC episode being a word-for-word remake of a BBC episode (which I don't think is entirely correct, but there are definitely clear points where they took plot points, jokes, and dialogue) is odd to watch.

All that being said, "The Office" is awesome. Most people know this by now, so I don't feel compelled to go into it further.
