Do you think Micheal Scott is better than David Brent?

Did The UK Or The US Make Better Versions Of These TV Shows?

The US's workplace sitcom _The Office_ was a slightly more heartwarming version of _The Office_ UK. Which one did you prefer?

Both _Us & Them_ and _Gavin & Stacey_ feature two characters from different places who fall in love from a distance. Do you prefer the US's Pennsylvania / New York storyline or the BBC's Wales / Essex plot?

_Veep_ satirised the behind-the scenes chaos of American political life in pretty much the same way as _The Thick Of It_ did with UK party politics (though the British version had a _lot_ more swearing). Which was better?

Do you think the (arguably more competitive) _Great American Baking Show_ can compete with _The Great British Bake Off_ for the title of the most wholesome reality show around?

You'll see the troubles that poverty brings in both the US and the UK versions of _Shameless_ — but would you rather watch the drama unfold in Chicago or Manchester?

America's _Dancing With The Stars_ has incredible production and a star-studded cast. How do you think it stacks up to the charm-filled British _Strictly Come Dancing_?

Okay, so the US _Wipeout_ and Britain's _Total Wipeout_ use more or less the same obstacle course, but different presenters and editing styles give the shows distinct flavours. What's your preference?

The original drag competition _RuPaul's Drag Race_ is known for its glitz, glamour, and jaw-dropping runways, while _RuPaul's Drag Race UK_ is packed full of laugh-out-loud performances. Which is your fave?

_The Apprentice_ is a popular show in both the US \*and\* the UK. Both feature a powerful businessman who puts the business skills of ambitious competitors to the test, but do you prefer Alan Sugar's harsh words or Schwarzenegger's dismissals?

Britain's _Days Like These_ attempted to recreate the American coming-of-age comedy _That '70s Show_ by using the same characters and basic plot, but with British actors. Which do you prefer to watch?

Would you rather binge on the sun-kissed reality TV show _Jersey Shore_ or the down-to-earth _Geordie Shore?_

Sure, the US business pitching show _Shark Tank_ follows a similar format to the UK's _Dragon's Den_, but the different cast of investors gives each series a _completely_ distinct tone. What's your fave?

The US version of _Skins_ delved into the messiest parts of teenager's lives, but held back on some of the explicit details that the UK version was famous for. Which would be your first choice?

Would you rather hear Demi Lovato's feedback on the American _X Factor_ or Louis Walsh's comments on the UK version?

Although both the US and the UK versions of _Love Island_ feature gorgeous couples competing for a prize (and each other's hearts), differences such as the prize money and the number of contestants sets them apart. Which is your fave?

The main actor and writer of the US adaptation _Gracepoint_ were the same as in the UK's original _Broadchurch_, and while both versions focus on a small town in grief, there are differences in pacing and plotlines. What's your fave version?

British audiences loved the cringe teen comedy _Inbetweeners_, so it's no wonder that the US tried to recreate its success with their own (significantly toned-down) version. Which would you rather get second-hand embarrassment from?

The US _Queer As Folk_ follows the lives of fictional gay characters, just like in the UK original. However the characters' relationships are different between the two, and the UK series errs on the grittier side. Which do you like more?
