The Office - DVD
Just had to say how brilliant I thought "The office" was - dont have BBC Canada, so this was the first time I had seen it.
Really begrudged paying the TV Licence fee for the BBC when I lived in the UK, but when you see something like this compared the total shite that is produced on North American TV, makes you realize that it was worth it!
It may be a tad "dry" for most North American tastes I guess, most of my co-workers seem to like their comedy more slapstick - but honestly, if you havent seen it yet - do yourself a favour and rent or buy it now!

I agree. I think "The Office" is a great show. We have it on DVD and it makes me laugh everytime. I'm a Brit living in the UK although hoping to move to Canada with my Canadian wife sometime next year. I don't know about the differences in humour but she loves the show too. Highly recommended in my opinion.

My canadian wife finds it quite amusing. I think its the funniest thing I've seen in years...that and 'knowing me , knowing you'
btw the way flatty38 can you buy it on dvd over here now? I've been wondering when it was going to be coming out here? we have BBC Canada so we watched it on that, but was hoping to buy it on DVD too.

If you enjoyed the first season just wait until you see the second, its GREAT!
