The only thing wrong with Steve Carrell as the boss is how everyone seems to think "That's what she said" came from him and the show.

They are different forms of comedy. The British Office is a show that is designed to make you cringe and hide behind your couch out of social awkwardness and embarassement at what you are seeing. The American office is more of a sappy American sitcom to me with jokes and wierd characters that are over-exaggerated are far too obvious and not really funny.
The British version is just much more realistic and sort of a depressing-funny show as well because all those people could be real. I guess that wouldn't fly on US TV.
