It's too close for me to vote. I can't think of too many remakes and/or adaptations of TV series that are as consistently great as the US version.

The US version is definately the funniest show on TV right now. At least until Scrubs comes back in two weeks.

It'll still be the funniest

I think the only reason US is winning this is because it has had a longer run than the UK version did. I don't see how anyone could watch the two seasons of the BBC version then the first two seasons of the American version and say the US version is better.

UK.

The US one is funny but it's much more outrageous and over the top.

The 13/14 episodes of the UK are pure genius.

Because i lived in England for 9 years maybe i get more of the jokes on the UK version (i.e. pop culture references...slang......british culture)

I find most british TV tedious, and the US version is out and out awful.

Carrell = Not Very Funny.

So, my vote is BLECH!

Mark it: I agree with Dalen on something.

These poll results are more embarrassing than the Melissa thing.

British version = some of the best comedic acting ever on television and one of the bleakest comedies ever.

U.S version = funny show, good characters, much more room for character development and storylines.

Both worthwhile.

(On a Black Adder scale, the U.S version is Blackadder Goes Forth while the UK version is Blackaddder II)

I've only seen the first season of the US version and I liked it but it wasn't as good as the UK version. I keep forgetting to watch this on Thursdays.
