Nobody here wants to be the first to admit they didn't hate The Office. I've ripped the clips posted on NBC.com in two separate posts (here and here). Too late to take some of it back?

Does this hold up to the original? No, absolutely not. And this first episode was nearly line for line from the British version, which makes it easy to say it wasn't as good (I've read that the rest of the episodes are original scripts.) And watching this interpretation really proves how great the original cast was.

But while it wasn't David Brent's Office, I had a good time. My negative reaction to the NBC.com clips was heightened by the terrible soundtrack the editor slapped in. It was like someone said, "Since we don't have a laugh track, let’Äôs use other sound effects to tell people these jokes are funny." A flashing "LAUGH" sign and ba-dum-bum drum beat were probably considered.

None of that taints the actual episode. No laugh track. No slapping the viewer in the face at every joke. My hardest laugh came during the "Pam, you're fired" scene, which, again, isn't as good as the original. But towards the end, the camera pans to the temp, who’Äôs just shaking his head at how badly this gag has crashed. High comedy.

That's how I pictured myself taking in The Office: Scranton. Shaking my head in contempt, wondering why anyone would do such a thing (Americanize it). In the end, ironically, the show actually benefited from my low expectations. Though if Arrested Development can’Äôt find an audience, I don’Äôt think the future is bright. But I’Äôll keep it on my TiVo Season Pass as long as it’Äôs around. Grade: B+

One other note -- here's a review from Adam Buckman, TV critic for the New York Post. I'm posting this here because Buckman writes: "If you are like me, and somehow never managed to catch the original, Carell and his American "Office"-mates are just fine." Seriously, how can he be a TV critic and not "manage to catch" The Office? That's like a math professor who skipped over Calculus. Or, it's like...it's like something.

Face it, you didn't have Louisville over Washington. It's gonna be fifty and sunny for Easter weekend...go outside.

The auto show is back at the Javits Center,

the eggs are back in Central Park,

and for dessert, you can select from a wide variety of art happenings:

Mr. shark tank, Damien Hirst, has a show of new paintings at Gagosian.

Mr. overhyped and overrated, David LaCappelle has a retrospective at Deitch Projects.

Daniel Buren's site-specific installation at the Guggenheim opens tomorrow.

And the one I'm most interested to see, Thomas Demand: Convincingly Real or Strangely Artificial is at MOMA. The images look harmless enough...rooms, parking lots, hallways, until you realize everything is made from construction paper. Tom Friedman, anyone.

Time for some credit where credit is due. Readers may know by now that most of the YesBut crew work in advertising, as we've covered stories on new spots, viral campaigns, etc. Well, I'd like to give a little recognition to two contributors who took a very cool advertising idea, and put it to use on the perfect brand.

A little over a month ago, Aquaman posted this story about a man selling his services on eBay. He would shout a brand's name every fifteen minutes for a week. Funny, as it was a new twist to the ad tattoo stuff that had been happening lately. And strangely enough, no one had placed a bid yet.

Soon after, our own Scaramouch realized how cool that could be if partnered with the right brand. And before you know it, Halls Fruit Breezers won the auction. (I know because I placed the bid, and he hounded me every day for a week to make sure I didn’Äôt forget) Normal fashion...thirty seconds before it closed, and I was the only bidder. We've joked with Floyd (the yeller) since that he doesn't want to know what I was authorized to bid. Let's just say it was more than we paid.

And as they say, the rest is history. Or not really, as we’Äôve heard from many interested parties, so the fun will hopefully continue. Good Luck Floyd, ride the wave. And nice work to Scaramouch and Aquaman. Who says we’Äôre wasting our time with this site!

What about this one.

You get the idea.

Finally, some video.

Here's a cool little Flickr photoset, featuring people who have created desktop wallpaper that matches the scene behind the computer, to give the effect of a transparent display.

File this one under "hope they have Anger Management groups in the big house". Twenty-two-year-old Austin Later was appearing for his sentencing before a judge when things got a little out of hand. After hearing that he was getting a five year sentence, the prisoner unleashed stream of verbal abuse at both the Judge and the Prosecutor.

The result? The judge increased his sentence from five to FIFTEEN YEARS! Whoops!

Improv Everywhere (who we first talked about here a month or so ago) have been at it again, this time taking over all the windows in front of a department store and providing some synchronised entertainment for the passers-by below.

I happened to be walking by the ABC studio in Times Square this morning just in time to snap a picture of Denzel Washington emerging. My life is just so damn glamorous.
