I started watching back to front. I reversed myself, and I just finished the Casino episode. Maybe season 3? It makes me so very sad because Michael Scott strikes so many chords with me. David Brent, much less so, but the "JIM" character, which garners much sympathy from me in the UK version, elicits almost zilch with the USA version. Namely, because "jim" (or whatever the fuck his name is) in the UK is EMINENTLY believable and identifiable, the analogue in the USA version is just another stereotype to emulate. If you dig. Anyway. The UK version had the advantage of being finite. On the other hand, the USA version gives us character conflict with the HR dude and Scott, which I find is more humorous than any situation the UK version lent us.
