"So What Becomes Of Rehashed British Sitcoms My Loooove..."

Random notes taken while watching the premiere of the US version of The Office on NBC...

  • Is it wrong to hope a show fails miserably?
  • Uh-oh. This can't be good. Even the theme song doesn't work.
  • The dude from the Daily Show (Steve Carell - ed.) is "David Brent"... here, Michael Scott.
  • 9:32 - this train is already derailing.
  • "Tim" looks like he's 12.
  • Same jokes from the original aren't working.
  • "Jennifer Taylor-Clark" isn't hot. Minus two points.
  • Timing's all off... it's all about the timing!
  • This is a high-school play. Check that, it's an Open Campus play.
  • Everyone looks uncomfortable. Good. They know how I feel watching this.
  • "Gareth" is a one-dimensional tool.
  • Lobsterfest is ending soon at Red Lobster. Just thought you'd like to know.
  • I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
  • ... this hurts.
  • "Gareth" is still a tool. Wait, it's "Dwight". And he can't act.
  • I'm gonna need a shower after this.
  • ... did I mention this hurts?
  • ARE THEY READING the lines???
  • "Dawn"/"Pam" is almost as bad as "Gareth"/"Dwight".
  • "You're a jerk" will never have the same effect as "You wanker".
  • Oh God they rehashed the rehash of the jelly joke.
  • Well, that's half an hour I'll never get back.
  • When the funniest part of the 1/2 hour was the commercial for the new Ashton Kutcher movie, yup, you've got a shitty show.
Final Rating: One-half of one stapler in one-half of jelly.

Oh stop that, you're sounding like a whiny pompous Brit. Of course it isn't that funny if you know every joke coming, but I think it showed promise. And the new secretary is hot.
