Has this come to the US yet?

If not I recommend it for the geekier amongst you, before it gets re-done by your networks and changes it

I saw few episodes, and they were generally great.

Your second comment gave me a chuckle, reminded me of what seems a horrid cast for OFAH remake.  :-\

Haha yeah i saw some of the OFAH one, just doesnt work.

And wow, they did make a US pilot of this...its awful. The trouble is, its very very British comedy. There are a lot of geeky references though, for example all the boardgames on the shelves!

Comments from Graham Lineham are here, the man who brought us Father Ted and Black Books!

The British version is on Netflix. It's pretty great, although the replacement of the boss character was unfortunate. Chris Morris was spectacular, Matt Berry less so.

Ozle mentioned Black Books, which is my favourite British comedy that is not Monty Python. So good.

I generally don't care for US remakes.

The original Office is still my favorite and always will be (they only made 2 seasons).
The "Gareth" character is a piece of art and Dwight doesn't even come close to his greatness.

Yeah, the I.T. Crowd is one of my favorite sitcoms.  I was exposed to it (along with Doctor Who) back when I had a Netflix trial account.  So much better then our equivalent (The Big Bang Theory).  My favorite characters are Moss and the original boss, who I wish had not been replaced.

The US remake had Joel Mchale (Jeff, Community) portray the role of Roy. I bet he's glad it didn't get picked up :)

Had to check this one out, seems like Bill Bailey (who is in my QI dream panel) is in it, so I might try it out.

One thing I've noticed about watching BBC: They only have like 20 presenters/panel members.

You're watching QI: "Hey, it's that guy!"
You watch Never mind the buzzcocks: "It's the other guy and that guy again!"
Watching Have I got news for you: "The same guy!"
Eggheads: "Hey, that guy was on all of the other shows!"

It's uncanny.
