The Office: “Last night’s show was only kind of funny. I like how some people make a point of saying the English version of the show is better.” Agreed on the first, but about the second: I’ve seen two and they both struck me as dreary in the sodden British way. The characters evinced no personality that made one care even a whit about them (unlike with Jim and Pam, say). And Steve trumps Ricky all over the place. The Brits, poor souls, for whatever merit their cooking may possess, don’t have the light touch on television comedies.

That said, 22 points ain’t bad in a single game.
