Either version, though I'm assuming the US version has a bit more widespread popularity. I've watched both, though I'm at season 5 in the US version and I've already watched the UK version.
Usually not my type of TV show, but I watched it once and found myself wanting to continue, now I'm watching episode after episode of the US version on Netflix so I can catch up :P

Well I am not like "OMG "The Office" will start in 10 mins dad get the fuck off the couch im gonna watch it!" but if I see it while browsing the channels I always stop to watch it

I've only seen three episodes, but I really like it. Though I always manage to miss it whenever it comes on.

I've only watched the US version (despite being a big fan of Rickie Gervais) and I thought it was a big pile of crap, Steve Carell just doesn't suit it IMO. I keep meaning to hit up the British version.

I'm like the only person here in America who doesn't like it. I just don't find it funny.

I think the UK version is funnier, naturally. It's not for all Americans I'll assure you. If you don't think the US version is funny though, I'd give that one a try.
Steve Carrell always bothered me, didn't stop in this either. I completely despise his character. I like the rest of it though :P

I love it, although I heard they're continuing without Steve Carrell, I can't imagine the US version without him.
As for the UK version, I love it, I'm a huge fan of Ricky.

Yeah, he was on Ellen a week ago or so talking about it. Apparently, they're still going to have the character but they're getting a new actor o.O I think it would be better to just get rid of Michael as part of the show, really.

"I hate, hate, hate being left out. Whether it's not beigh picked for a team or being picked for a team and then showing up and realizing that the team doesn't exist or that the sport doesn't exist. I should have known... poop ball." -Michael
haha. i quote this show as often as i can. obviously.
i love it sooooo much. and with Michael i dont think itll be the same. although he's not my favorite character on the show, i think he's the one that ties the whole thing together.
and i have all 6 seasons of it on DVD. you could say im obsessed.

The UK Office is much better. Ricky Gervais is terrific as David Brent
The Madness.

Dwight Schrute is my role model.

Seriously? He's great.
Some people say the show wouldn't be the same without Michael, I think it'd be just fine. Dwight makes the show. I love The Office, it's so completely weird and stupid funny. I love that. I've never seen the UK version, so I have no opinion on that.

I love Dwight too XD The funny thing is that he's into everything my stepdad is into, all that sci-fi fantasy stuff, but my stepdad doesn't look like as much of a nerd as he does though. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Lord of the Rings. It's a bit scary honestly.
I think it will be different without him, but I really had points in the show where I just wanted to murder Michael o.O When he goes to far or screws something up for the other characters. Sometimes he is funny, but more often I just wish they got could keep a permanent replacement for him and have someone else run the branch :P
