KONTORET - "THE OFFICE" COMES TO SWEDEN

I have always said that Swedish TV is for the most part...complete shite. It's either people sat on sofas chatting about shite, people that think they are/are desperate to be/once were famous eating dinner and talking about shite or some shite that's a Swedish version of something else. A few exceptions do make me laugh or are good TV. But they are a few.

Now, in 2012....over 10 years since the original, Swedish TV has decided to re-make "The Office". I mean really? Really? Really......


Have we not all already seen The Office? I mean this concept has already been done....twice! Seven times if you count the French, German, Chilean and Israeli versions too. Now, I have only seen the UK and the US versions but even if you don't speak Swedish you can watch this trailer and see the same jokes from the US and UK version. Hop to 1.02 and see the Dwayne counterpart do his standing at his desk joke from a recent US episode. Hop to 1.55 and see the cast sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" from the first episode of season 2 of the UK version (they sing The Muppets theme).

Will we see the funny dance too? All the same stuff. Has not everyone in Sweden already seen The Office?

Who sits in an office in the TV headquarters and decides this shit?
