New Shows: The Office & The New Advs. of Old Christ

Okay, so last night I saw the pilots of these shows.
The Office: I do not think I could actually watch this show many times. I find "offices" very boring and do not like the way the show is filmed...the camera is shaky like a home video and it makes me a little dizzy. Also, the main character is so awkward that I am embarrassed FOR him... kind of like when I watch "Meet the Parents"... Some of the stuff was a little funny though. I liked when he made the barrier between the desks using pencils! Wont be watching htis show.
New Adventures of Old Christine:
I like Julia Louis Dreyfus as a mom. And the kid is cute too. I liked the show and will probably watch it again if I see it on.
Did you see these and what do you think?

Yeah, I watched the Britsih version in Sweden. It is much better than the American version I think.
I thought the Julia Dreyfus show was cute but not enough to make me wanna watch it again really.
I think The Office really hit its stride in the second season, when they broke away from the English version and started doing more of their own thing.
...but now it's my favorite comedy on TV by FAR. Give it a chance. I've only seen a few episodes in season 2, but that one with the "Dundies" awards? Oh my god, I think I almost died laughing.
I've watched a few episodes of the New Adventures of Old Christine and it's not bad. Defintiely a "typical sitcom", unlike The Office, but a decent one.

Geeky is my hero. She's the true badass. The badass who doesn't even need to be a badass. There aren't enough O's in cool to describe her.
For the Old Chrisine show, I don't find it very funny. I'm glad that Julia Louise Dreyfuss found a post-Seinfeld show that hasn't gotten cancelled within the first few weeks, but imo, it's just an average show. But what do I know, she won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy, right?

I like the British Office a lot. Most reviews of the American show have made a point of saying that viewers should approach the show on its own terms, not through the lens of the British one, but I honestly don't think I'm doing that. OK, maybe I am. I love me some Ricky Gervais.
I don't like the Louis-Dreyfus show either. I'm such a TV addict--particularly with sitcoms--but I just can't find a show I like that's on now. It saddens me. Earl's OK, I guess. I sort of liked Arrested Development, and now that's gone.
I think one of the reasons why I love The Office (us) is because I didn't watch the British version first. I didn't have anything to compare it to.
Have you ever watched Curb Your Enthusiasm? My brother is super picky with tv, and he said that since Arrested Development got cancelled, he's been watching that as a replacement. I've never watched it, but I've heard from a few people that it's good.
