Where’s the peanut butter?!

Judging from the pilot, the US version of The Office is going to be a
big disappointment. The pilot was a strict remake of the href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/">British version and
judging from the href="http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/episode_guide/">Episode Guide,
it looks like future episodes may follow suit. Dwight will poke his
nose in his coworkers’ business on the pretense of href="http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/episode_guide/3.shtml">helping
choose a health care plan (Gareth was trying to find pornography
on his coworkers’ machines) and we’ll join the workers for href="http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/episode_guide/2.shtml">diversity
day instead of href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/epguide/series1_ep4.shtml">motivational
training, but it takes more than culturally translated situations
to yield new comedy. Even where the BBC made href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/gareth/">Gareth Keenan’s
homepage, NBC has an href="http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Office/Dunder_Mifflin/Employee_Spotlight/">Employee
Spotlight on Dwight Schrute. If I want to see someone rehash old
jokes or act out their favorite lines from existing material I’ll
watch Saturday Night Live or go stand in line for href="http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/">Episode III.

revival underway. It should only be another year or two before
you can dust off your href="http://images.google.com/images?q=zubaz&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wi">zubaz
and party like it’s 1985 all over again!
