'The Office' is probably one of the few shows where you can say the US version was better

But that's still not saying much. That show would have been nothing without Steve Carrell...

Not entirely off the mark when the scene with Belsnickle's side kick got removed from Netflix.

People really exaggerate the decline in quality, tbh. Whole series was enjoyable.

It was a scene with blackface, deliberately poking fun at how offensive the mythical character is.

All the people referencing the US show realize he made the UK version, right? Because that's the version he's talking about.

He's right.

No, he's not.

Yes, people would be offended, but it's his inability to take those criticisms that makes him say that. He's weak.

It wouldn't be made the same way because it was a golden goose on a major network. and of course it would be different because shit tends to change over 15 years.

Not generally, but Michael Scott had a few impressions that I could see causing specific episodes to get pulled the way some other shows are doing right now.

We Got This Covered is unequivocally the worst entertainment news site.

And not just for attention-grabbing opinion pieces like this, but they've started several false rumors.

It's a dumb statement to make because millennials and Gen Z in general fucking love the show.

They're not pulling them from streaming so I doubt it, even the racially insensitive episodes aren't being pulled like other shows are. It's because it didn't push the envelope as much as they think it did lol

I mean I dunno what tv shows are on NBC any more but I know they aren't like it's always sunny.

The Good Place was more controversial at times and it just ended.

It's literally one of the most streamed shows in the world. I don't even know what Carrell is on about because The Office doesn't even come close to some of the dated and objectionable humor of some other shows.

Maybe you missed the memo that a bunch Always Sunny episodes got removed from Hulu because of butthurt idiots that don't understand context.

Really doesn't seem like it was removed because of people complaining about those episodes. Seems more like the streaming companies are getting ahead of the "issue" and making dumb decisions like this. There really was no lead up for these streaming companies removing these episodes then they all added some half assed black lives matter curated lists lol

It's just bad corporate marketing.

I don't really agree at all that The Good Place was more controversial. I've watched both all the way through and Michael Scott is more offensive than anyone on that show (with the exception of that douche in the final season being a douche).
