As was probably anticipated by many people, the US remake of "The Office" has turned out to be crap.

"America remakes The Office, but no-one's laughing"

LOL, always happens whenever the US networks try & remake a UK comedy.

Oh Gawd I remember when they tried making a US version of Red Dwarf. Yep they kept it secret but the two episodes leaked on the net. Bad mistake.

LOL, they do know how make good comedies (well, some) - it just never works when they try & remake someone else's.
