    Honestly, the Gervais-headed UK Office is considerably better, in my opinion.

    I like the US version but the UK Office is a television classic.

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is what I think the smartest comedy-shows to be on tv in years. Its perverse cruelty, unsympathetic and nihilstic characters are the absolute antithesis to these boring sentimental and corny sitcoms in which everybody always hugs each other in bitter irony at the end. A true sucssessor to Seinfeld.

    I discovered this show called "Life" and I really like it. Of course, it's no longer on; I am watching the episodes online at NBC....It's a good edgy detective cop story with some quirky characters and interesting plots and entanglements. I am trying to put together the various clues to why the main character was framed and sent to prison unjustly; each segment ends with him gazing at a wall with photos that make up a diagram of possible connections to the perpetrators in his own case. My friend watched it when it aired and she said it was a good show and we both wondered why they took it off the air. Anybody here see the show before? Just curious.

    That show was the Trailer Park Boys and without Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, I'd be in an asylum having nothing to nurse a nervous breakdown with haha.
    That show was great. I loved Tom Collins. "Randy will NOT jump the cheeseburger unless he has a marijuana cigarette."

    House, M.D. is definitely the best TV show, in my mind.

    Oh, Janine, I loved that show! Of course I'm a sucker for anything Damian Lewis does but apart from the obvious eye candy, I thought it was very well done. It had unique characters and plots, wonderful actors and the music was just amazing! I have bought so much music because I was introduced to it through that show. I have a Life playlist on iTunes and it's one of my favorite playlists. The final scene of the last show just killed me, knowing that we would never see the resolution. I had read somewhere that they were trying to shop it around to a couple of cable networks but obviously, that didn't happen.

    And Shalot and Papaya, yes, The Big Bang is brilliant. I'm a newcomer to it, just happened upon it by accident but what a happy accident it was!

    How'd I miss this one? I love me some It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I find myself often saying "awwww really?" especially when the one guy tried to seduce the other guy's mother.

    The Office (US version) is a suprisingly high quality show. Steve Carrol may possibly be the master of comedic delivery in television today because it's not what he says that is funny, but how he says it. His facial expression. Subtle little details. An excellent show.
