I agree. While the new version is fundamentally different than the original British version, it still has its strengths. Greg Daniels, the show runner of the US Version, is responsible for 3 of the top 10 Simpsons episodes of all time, not to mention BJ Novak (who plays Ryan the Temp) wrote Diversity Day and Sexual Harassment, two episodes that honestly rival the British one in terms of laughs.
As far as shortcomings, Dwight is no Gareth, the original was 10 minutes longer, and they did a better job of making you actually sympathize with David Brent (with the arrival of the Swindon people)
Both great shows, UK is better, but US is still defintley worth watching
