No Creativity Left

As I was watching the British version, and the original version of The Office, it hit me, United States (or America as some people like to call it) has not produced an original thought in years. The funniest gags in our Office are copied sometimes almost word for word from the original. This is not only to say I am definitely a bigger fan of the British version of the show, not only because it is much funnier, but much more original.
But what else? When was the last time we had a good movie? All we have these days are remakes and those shitty parody movies. Since the last time a good horror movie came out was over a decade, and all have been busts since then, Hollywood decided to remake all the classics. Or since we can only get an intelligent comedy once every blue moon, they make sorry excuses for movies like Ricky Bobby, Blades of Glory, Super Hero Movie, Epic Movie, the list goes on and on.
For the longest time I thought the best show on television was The Office but now I feel cheated, because like usual, the United States entertainment industry cannot produce an original thought. Maybe it does go on to prove that we are truly the melting pot, blending in everyone else's creativity, to disguise it as our own.
Do yourself a favor, watch the British, the original, Office.
