But they haven't even talked to Wright or Pegg about it while the creators of "The Office" took the time to assure Gervais and Merchant. It's good because it will bring more attention to the genius original but I hope this show fails. They probably see the success of “The Office” and think they can exploit this and make some money.

The show is hilarious and I was kinda bummed, when I first got into it, that it only had two seasons. Now, do I wanna see more "Spaced"? Yeah! Do I wanna see some american actors try to import british comedy!? Hell no! Just release the dvd or get the rights to broadcast it over here...after all, Simon Pegg has somewhat of a notoriety this side of the Atlantics, I'm sure that his fan base would watch on top of the potential target audience.

Why do this? The British version is hilarious already. Just get the rights to show it over here on this side of the pond and release a damn DVD copy that we can watch. Is the American remake going to have Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright in it? If not, who in the world could they get to replace them? My opinion is: nobody. Those jokes and that style of humor are perfectly suited for Pegg, which is why the original series was so good. I would rather continue watching the copies of the show I downloaded online than see a remake. Blah. And no, I don't like the American version of The Office, but for that matter, I wasn't a huge fan of the British one either. Why? Why do this? The British version is hilarious already.

I haven't seen the original series I wonder if it has a PL feel to it? Ha, Parker Lewis was pretty funny. I haven’t seen the original series I wonder if it has a PL feel to it?
