Ok I just finished the complete second season of the UK version and am now even more dumbfounded as to why the UK version is known as being better. I hated (<I>hated</I>) David (the Michael Scott of the UK) to the point of wishing he was fired from the show at the end. The actor is just so annoying in how he plays David. The show had maybe 4 laugh out loud moments out of every single episode in the entire series...I usually laugh out loud 4 times per episode in the US version. Even though the UK version is pretty much uncensored and can show more adult themes, they still never reach the uncomfortability levels that the US version achieves, all while giving each character a warmth that is <B>completely</B> absent in the UK version.
The creaters of the US version definitely took the premise of the UK version, but instead of simply making it US-ified, they made it better in every sense of the term.
