Yeah. Great show. It was on BBC America maybe a year or so ago. It's very dry humor, though, so it may need some major rewrites to work in the U.S.

When I get home I am going to setup a ARWL for the British version in addition to looking for it on bit torrent.

I am huge fan of Gervais' The Office. I like the American version. I love dry humor, yet I couldn't get into this. Perhaps it deserves another watch. I will watch anything Hurwitz does, and when you add in Christopher Guest, there's no contest.

I predict that this will be "too smart" for the masses.

Exactly. The moment I read it I was hoping it was on HBO and would be the kind of comedy that would take the place of Curb.
