Stromberg really rocks!

[Torsten]

I must admit I don't watch German TV that much as there are only a limited number of programs that are worth my time. Stromberg definitely is one the few. It's the German version of "The Office" and it's just great as it shows German corporate life as it really is. Has anyone ever seen "The Office" or even "Stromberg"?

Hi Stew,

You are right. The British seem to be the number one nation when it comes to creating and marketing rock/pop music and TV shows. And the best part: it's all in English ;-). But why exactly is that? Is it because the British seem to have this special kind of humour? Or is it because the British live on islands away from hectic and stress out mainland societies? By the way, did you see all episodes of "The Office"? Which one did you like best?

The British version of The Office is great but the American version is not funny at all.
