It does rather explain the massive popularity of Mrs Brown's Boys - nobody was watching that who also liked Fawlty Towers and Blackadder, let's be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Can't stand fan entitlement. Fans are demanding. The customer is king. Working every hour god sends with honest intentions isn't enough. Clubs, manager's and player's are at pains to keep them on board as you can't bite the hand that feeds, so we always hear about how great the fans are. Wonder what they say privately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any P&Bers able to join me? I loved the UK office but... The US one is better. Also, Jim's character was awful. He was meant to be this loveable, pranky good guy but in reality was a controlling, bullying workshy twat. Never watched Gavin and Stacey due to Corden. Think that's a few unpopular opinions there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) The US/UK Office comparisons made me wonder why the Americans never tried doing their own version of Fawlty Towers, but it turns out that they did. Three times. IIRC, they're also on their fourth attempt at remaking Peep Show, one of which starred Johnny Galecki of Roseanne and The Big Bang Theory fame. Edit: they're actually on remake attempt #5 for Peep Show. Edited May 6 by BFTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, The Office's are two entirely different types of sitcoms. The UK one is more your 'cringe' type comedy whereas the US one is more a typical documentary style comedy. I think the US one is easier to watch but as much as I love them both I can't really compare them. I think that's harsh on Jim. He got on my tits at times but I didn't think he was controlling. He literally gave up his career for Pam. I suppose you can argue he was a bit of a bully but I think brown nosing jobsworths (Dwight) get exactly what they deserve. Gavin and Stacey is a really good sitcom. Cordon is a twat of the highest order but it's actually one of the few things he's done well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin and Stacey is a really good sitcom. Cordon is a twat of the highest order but it's actually one of the few things he's done well. I agree they're very different but the US one edges it for me. There are some truly great episodes in there. I disagree about Jim's character, he bought a house without telling Pam. He took a job in a different city without telling Pam and only quit when she didn't want to move. He also tried to get Dwight fired numerous times, went over Michael's head to get a promotion and just constantly made belittling remarks to the rest of the office throughout the show. Maybe Gavin and Stacey is great but my hate for Corden runs too deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
