The Office!
UK or US?
YES!
(Okay, lisah beat me to the punch with "BOTH" but I had to pick up my kid from school, and I was totally thinking "YES" beforehand.)
That said, I will throwdown on behalf of
The Office
(US). The UK original only had fourteen episodes, total. Forty-one episodes of the US adaptation have aired, as of last night.
It's its own show, in its own right, and as of this third season (which, so far, is even better than the awesome second -- the 2nd season being when the show stopped leaning so heavily on the original) it's become my favorite show currently on TV.
I'm not saying the US version is better, but I am saying if I could only have one, I'd give up the UK version (with a bit of a heavy heart, but I'd totally get over it, because I love the US version that much).

That's okay, I'll take the UK version for you.
Thanks Ginger! I'll pass it on!

Everyone wins (well, everyone who is us).
A couple of zingers? Not sure if they were on the right CSPAN. Maybe he was watching BookTV because I was rolling.
At first, I didn't get the Report either. It helped to see Billo do his thing.
Also, *very* dry humor...sometimes if you blink you miss it.
Scully has said that the choice of Little, who practices a milder former of humor than Colbert, had nothing to do with any controversy surrounding Colbert's performance last year.
That is in itself a laughable statement. Could you possibly get anybody more toothless than Rich Little? Is Mark Russell still working?
"Colbert had a couple of zingers toward President Bush, and a couple toward the press corps," Scully recalled. "Stephen Colbert is very sophisticated and if you've not seen his show you may not get it." With Little, he added, "you don't have to explain his humor."
Because it's not funny! Rich Little! 1974!
Heh. Nancy's stepping on toes.
Earlier in the week, Pelosi told Dingell, the energy and commerce committee chairman, that she planned to create a separate panel to deal with global warming and other energy issues. The most veteran member of the House and a previous chairman of the committee, Dingell is remembered for keeping the Clean Air Act bottled up for a decade with his opposition to strict pollution control standards.
Dingell's a Democrat from Michigan that's been sucking Detroit cock for decades. Screw you, Dingellberry. Every time she ruffles feathers it's because somebody's entrenched on some committee and it doesn't have anything to do with legislating. They're going to get steamrolled when they bitch because if you're not advancing the agenda, she's gonna make you look bad.
I should pay more attention to the world, because I saw "Scully" and thought, "What the hell is Scully doing talking about humorists? Where's Mulder?"
