I thought the second season of the office was running out of steam a little . The first season was still quite believable (which I liked) but I didn't feel that about the second. .

Dramas over here may be getting even shorter runs as the TV companies are pulling the plug on anything expensive to produce.

Try and see outnumbered if you can.I thought that was very funny.

>I'm sure Gervais could have gone on much longer than 16 episodes at the same quality and I don't think the American version - with over 100 in the can - has even come close to running out of gas.

>Just realized that the US Life on Mars (which I love) has been cancelled at the end of this first season but will still have more episodes than the 2 seasons of the Brit version.

>>I think one of the reasons why the good Brit-Coms are so good is that when they run out of ideas for the show, they stop. It's a little crazy-making for those of us who were brought up that a 'full season' was 26 weeks (then cut to 13) to run into a 'full season' of a Brit-Com being 4 shows.
