| There were only 2 seasons of the "British Office" (ie. The Office) because Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant decided that it was best left at the amazing ending the second series had. If you had looked into it you would know that, and not use it as a point for your argument on why the seemingly neverending abomination is better. Quality over quantity applies here, as quantity is no measure of quality (see Police Academy movies for confirmation). Gervais and Merchant eclipse any American Office writer in terms of quality and humour, as they actually comprehend the notion of subtlety, and anyone who has seen Extras, their other creation, I'm sure will agree (Extras ended in similar fashion after 2 series despite being incredibly popular and earning Ricky Gervais a Best Comedy Actor Emmy, a first for a British TV show in an overwhelmingly American focused judging system - that takes some doing. I believe Steve Carell is still waiting for his). |
