Don't cry Bob.
I'm sure the baby will be fine.
Also, the Yank Spaced was cancelled after the pilot (y) Close call though!

Someone sent it to me on Facebook. I nearly cried.
No Americans, NO! :(
Btw, it's kinda weird that you were actually the one that brought Spaced to my attention about 5 years ago. I bought the DVD-box without having ever seen an episode, just because you recommended it. From my very first paycheck! Muchos thanks for that Aidybabes. :)
edit: I even posted a picture of it way back then. When I was still young and innocent...

the office was a pretty good show on the BBC but you know what it was missing? crying babies.
oh and breast feeding
i literally cannot stop laughing. my ass is literally detached from my body with the amount of laughing that i've been doing
Its weird how Ricky Gervais is so much more popular in the USA than the UK. I watched an episode of Daily Show yesterday with him on (from a week or two a go I think) and thought, yup - he is definitely suited more as an american comedian, personally I don't like him all that much.
I introduced my old house mates to spaced, they thought it was rubbish. They are the only people I've ever met that thought that. Can't believe its over 10 years old now, makes me feel old. I'm not clicking the links to the american spaced as it'll make me angry I think.

I like him better when he's being just a proper c**t, like he was on whatever that show was with Iain Lee and Ali G. And some of his stand-up, like the fattest joke. (And in Night at the museum)
Also refused to watch the american spaced thing-no no no no NO. Been watching bits again recently-i could probably cry laughing just thinking about it
ricky gervais and stephen merchant's podcasts are also quite funny though i think that a great deal of it has to do with them playing off karl pilkington's lunacy
i can't tell if karl pilkington is actually like that or if it's just an elaborate character. i looked him up on imdb and he really hasn't done much else and if he is just faking it then all the parties involved (him and ricky and stephen) seem to be sticking to a fairly consistent story so i just don't know what to believe

Yeah hes a bit of a mong. hes a radio producer though so he cant be that much of a mong.
the podcasts are excellent, making more then two series of the office is not.

He's Northern. We're all like that.

At the Spaced screening thing in LA a while ago, we asked them about it. They called it "McSpaced" because that McG dude was producing it? Yeah, they were kinda horrified, I mean they didn't even get asked for approval or anything. So glad that shitstorm didn't proceed.

like others i am refusing to watch the link. I just cant believe someone thought it would translate. I mean, do they even have jaffa cakes in the US?

i assume it wouldn't be a 1 to 1 copy, they'd probably have replaced british cultural references with vaguely analogous american ones. like instead of jaffa cakes it'd be, i dunno, mallomars or something, i'm not abundantly clear on what jaffa cakes are actually.
it would still be pointless though. especially since half of what made spaced so funny was its cast. doing the show without them would be dumb as hell
Well essentially, US has already had its spaced. Its a show about typical flat-mates; one got a dog instead of a monkey & smelly cat, they both had coffee shops but one was a lot nicer.
Spaced was better though.
