I'll stick with this asessment for the time being. If I could only watch American sitcoms that were as good as the best of the BBC exports, I'd only watch Arrested Development and Scrubs. As it is, I watch Arrested Development, Scrubs, and the Office.

Arrested Development is great!

I agree, Arrested Development is great. I stopped watching Scrubs when they switched it from Tuesday nights, but I always enjoyed it.

Over the weekend, I reserved the public library's copy of BBC's The Office. I'm something like the 27th person on the wait list, but they have 5 copies, and you can only keep it for a week, so I should have it in a month or so. Then I'll have a marathon session of watching all the episodes in one week. I think I'll stop watching the NBC version until then.
