Season 1 of the Office was trying very hard to replicate the British show. mm

Yeah, if I go back and watch the first couple of episodes, Michael is almost unrecognizable.

For sure, he was American David Brent. The storylines are lifted directly from the BBC version.

The American office really started at Season 2. In my opinion they didn't even really heat up until the Christmas episode
