Poll close tomorrow. Michael Scott has to get many votes to make a comeback.

I voted Michael and I've been regretting it ever since. Even made me go back and rewatch the British series. Brilliance. Pure brilliance.

Although I will argue that all of the other American characters are better than or equal to the British versions.
