I have a confession to make: I saw the US version of
The Office before I'd seen the British version, and actually don't mind it.
In general, though, I agree about the translation of British comedy to the US. In fact, there are very few US comedies I think are funny.
Seinfeld included. Talk about a yawn! One of the funniest US shows is
Boston Legal, which Channel 7 has seen fit to drop. Again.
