- TriviaContrary to popular belief, this show is not an official remake of the BBC sitcom The Office (2001), but actually started as an unlicensed rip-off of it. The show was treated as an original by the channel Prosieben, until it eventually got the attention of the BBC, who noticed how similar it was to their own version. In fact, several dialogue scenes were copied almost verbatim, and many other similarities were so apparent that the BBC threatened legal action against the show's production company Brainpool. Beginning with the second season, to avoid legal issues, the text "Inspired by the UK BBC series The Office created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant" was added to the ending credits. It has since been acknowledged as a remake.
Featured review
US's version is WAY better.
I just wanted to say that everyone who has reviewed this television series so far is completely wrong. It is another great adaptation of the original Office(UK Version) and this German version clearly tries to copy the US version. In the UK version, David Brent is looked at as more of an annoyance, while in the US version, they make Michael Scott look like an idiot, but a lovable idiot. This German version tries to remake Michael but fails poorly.
Don't get me wrong, I love every version of The Office, but the US version is clearly the best. Props to Ricky Gervais for creating this series but the US version of The Office is much funnier than anyone out there. Anyone who disagrees either hasn't seen every version or just has a poor sense of humor.
