Everyone complains that it's not like the British version but in my opinion, that is perfectly fine. What is the point of having an exact replica/mirrored show only in different countries anyway... that would be rather pointless. I've DVRd the last two seasons and it's something I enjoy because it's mostly funny and the girlfriend doesn't mind watching it either and finds herself cracking up just as much which is always good. It's not for the hardcore and the entire family can watch it. Some will say that is the problem in itself but whatever.

If you wanted serious then yes, you've come to the wrong place or show. I was always happy to see it sitting there on my DVR when I got home from work or whatever because its stupidity and odd humor is something different to check out... it's something I can just relax with and literally just laugh out loud more often than not. There has been an episode or two that I didn't really care for but generally it's entertaining. Give it another chance.
