Dwight vs. Gareth

Song of the Day: The Shins - Sea Legs






VS.
Contrary to other popular belief, I actually like the television series, The Office (US). Though, the brainchild of Ricky Gervais and origination for UK syndication, it made it's way here to North America. From watching the UK series, I wasn't totally won over by the characters, though I thought it was a good show. A couple of years later, I was beguiled to watching at least one episode and the rest is history. I think I just polished back watching the first season of the US version.

One of the characters that I find much more amusing in the US version is good ole' Dwight Schrute, self-proclaimed assistant branch manager, but really he's assistant TO the branch manager. His character is paralleled to Gareth Keenan. Both are hilarious in their own ways, though Dwight makes me laugh because of his anal retentiveness whereas I just feel sorry for Gareth being so frail. Which one do you like more and why?

    Hmmm... I pretty much think the opposite way of Smike. I think the Gareth character is lacking in so many ways, especially when compared to Dwight, there was no "shadow to fill" (in my opinion). Also, I find that Gervais's character is a total d-bag, far more awkward than Michael. The US 'Pam' is way cuter, the chemistry between Jim and Pam is far better in the US show, and the US 'Packer' is way more obnoxious. I will only give the UK show the 'Roy' character, and really, who cares about him anyways?

    And just to show that I am a true Dwight fan, Hung: its "regional" manager, not "branch".

    Peace, out.
