Re: Info on "The [Americanized] Office"

As an American I am already embarassed by what this will become. Unless the
planets converge exactly the same way, it will be impossile to mimic the
brilliance of this show. It was the perfect cast in the perfect setting with
the perfect creative team that just created a stroke of genius. Just the
mere fact that their trying to copy it kills the whole point of it.
