ikr. that MTV version over here was a big POS. im just glad im not one of those people that thinks a sequel/reboot/adaptation ruins the ones before it like some Star Wars fans when the prequels came out & think their childhood was raped & decided they needed to pick a side on those trilogies. i can still enjoy it if i liked the one(s) before it or vice versa.

I'd say the US Office is an example of that working, and not working. I know it's a "love it or hate it" sort of show (I personally love it) but for the first season / season and a half they were trying to directly copy the UK version, sometimes almost scene for scene, and it just didn't work at all. A lot of people probably gave up on S1, I'd imagine. After that it went off on a completely different tangent of its own, allowed itself to be a bit more optimistic, a bit friendlier, "a bit more American" and if you take it as completely its own show it is a very high quality comedy.
So yeah... basically I'm up for it, but it'll bomb badly if they try to just have "US versions of the original characters". I hope that's not the route it's going for.

i love both Office versions tbh. i even liked the early part of US.
it will bomb badly if it doesnt find an audience more than trying to make copies of the original characters imo. most that are going to give it a shot likely wont even know about the original version.
