American remakes
by Andrew J Glina March 16, 2005 5:58 PM PST
What is it with US TV networks? If they like a foreign show then can't they just air it and stop there? Besides with lines like...

"...Unlike most American programming, the BBC show became increasingly painful over the course of its short two seasons, with its bitter comedy balanced by fewer and fewer redeeming qualities in characters...."

...and...

"...but the new show's creators have said they aren't trying to recreate the feel of the original..."

...it is clear that NBC (and/or the story author)have missed the point of the show. British shows are generally not translated well into the US shows. For example Red Dwarf and Dr Who were just plain horrible remakes. Makes me glad that I don't watch TV much anymore.
