The Office

Here's a Slate article I found interesting: it compares the British, U.S., French, and German versions of the TV show "The Office"

I just started watching a TV special version (a re-visit that aired after the original series had come and gone) of the British version. It's funny, but it really does have a different feel than the US version.  I enjoyed the BBC version immensely, but it does feel a little alien.
