Trivia:
The Office's address is 1725 Slough Road. Slough was the name of the town in which the original version of the show takes place. However, there is no Slough Road in Scranton. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Although the show is set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, every episode set outside during the winter features an unrealistically warm climate. Although characters always wear overcoats and pretend to shiver, numerous things reveal the actual California filming location. Some of these include: no visible breath, no snow, full lawns and trees covered with green leaves. more
Quotes:
Dwight Schrute: In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, "Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me and I'm dead." Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion, you're dead. more

As subtle as a punch in the face, 23 February 2007
Author: cmc_dit from Ireland

OK, its a remake. BBC's The Office was a fantastic comedy series. The jokes were not always presented neatly on a plate. Some of the jokes only came out after watching the episodes again. But sadly this American version doesn't do this at all. I don't know whether this is because if they don't make a joke obvious people might miss jokes and turn over which means less money, maybe.

A lot of the funniest scenarios are "borrowed" from the UK version and the ones that are not are sometimes complete absurd(even by UK Brent standards).

I was never bored watching the UK version. The characters were always interacting with sly looks and body language. In the US version there is too much dialog and at times you feel they are just talking to line up the next joke so I becomes tedious.

Some may feel that this a completely different show that should be judged on its own merits. I don't, its a remake and thats how I think it should be judged.
