Michael Scott: [to Toby] This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell out of here.

Alternate versions
The episodes that originally aired on NBC and that appear on the DVDs are slightly different from the versions that air in syndication and on Netflix. For example, when episodes like "Stress Relief" and "Niagara" along with most of the other two parters originally aired, they aired as one extended episode. Additionally, several episodes have certain plot-lines or scenes that would later disappear, these are the versions that appear on the DVDs. On Netflix however, many of these scenes and plot-lines are missing from episodes and many extended episodes like the aforementioned ones were split into two parters. On the flip-side, there are even some scenes that were cut from the initial airings and appear as deleted scenes on the DVDs that appear on the Netflix versions.

This show really is outstanding, in fact its the only show i think i can rate as a 10.

From watching the original uk series back in 2001 on bbc TV, i never thought an American remake would stand any ground whatsoever. When the first series aired in the uk it did'nt really make its mark, and unfortunately never caught on. I was disappointed when it disappeared from our screens, and then quickly forgot about it. I thought it had 1 series and crashed and burned. Then one day i was checking out the reviews for evan almighty on IMDb and noticed that steve carel had still been making this show. I had to get hold of it and see it, And to my joy there was 5 series waiting for me. I never get into TV like i have done with this, i ended up watching 10 episodes in a day, i think i did all 5 series in just under 2 weeks. This show is funny, its acted brilliantly, its over the top, totally crazy but totally entertaining. If your ever down just bung on a couple episodes from good old dunder miflin in scranton and you cant go wrong.

Gervais said that 2 series of the office in the uk was enough. And that he did'nt want to take it further. I know he helps on the US version, and i sure he is surprised to see 6 series already of what i can only describe as the best American sitcom of all time!!
