NBC has pushed back the premiere airing of its version of The Office.

The show's debut was scheduled to air on March 22. Instead, a preview will air on March 24 followed by the actual premiere on March 29.

A preview made available on NBC's website was slated by members of the Digital Spy forums, with one member saying that "it's like some surreal world that has stolen jokes from The Office and made them not funny at all."

The British version of the show has previously aired on BBC America, but is not currently on that station's schedule.
