sorry im not up to date with my british tv stars. im american remember? i am ignorant to all that isnt from USA.

i will lock myself in the basement and watch the complete dvd set of absolutely fabulous and get back to you. calmdown:

Dude, don't turn yourself into a victim. I'm simply telling the truth, and it pisses me off when people rip ideas and get credit for them....Especially when the copy is totally average at best.
Ricky Gervais aka david brent brought it from the UK. So no, the show is not "ripped." Majority of Americans have not seen the original office - the ones who have, enjoy it. So how would it be a bad idea for one of the creators,writers,directors to come to the US and start another one which would appeal to the majority of americans..since the actors would be american,etc? They also couldn't play the original office on NBC because it'd infringe some contract I'd assume with BBC. The original show is on BBC America though, which is a pay channel I think.
