One UK show that I've found worth watching (from someone who lives
outside the UK)  was "The IT crowd". To quote the official website at
http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/I/itcrowd/

"Because The Office was successful, everyone thinks they have to do
stuff on location with a shaky camera, naturalistic performances, and
very black humour. And I always think that if everybody's doing one
thing, it's probably an idea to do the exact opposite."...

Sounds like something to recommend to those who hate "the office"...

Cheers,
Jonathan.
