I'm a big Ricky Gervais fan, but the Amercian version of the Office - with almost 70 episodes and counting - is considerably more prolific, every bit as funny, and a pretty good example of a good idea being carried on with respect to the original idea but definitely without relying on recycling the original material.
The Office was meant as a spoof fly-on-the-wall. Gervais realised you can't continue such a scenario indefinitely. I think the US version has digressed from the scenario? BTW, there was a feature-length Xmas special of the Office a few years ago. Did you catch it?
