  • Why does America always steal good ol' British shows and ruin them!? Why!?

  • Hey, TheYellag...be sure to check out the 'RD-US Pilot 2' I just added to my page...it's about as godawful as the FIRST version!...;)

  • why the fuck copy the english.First it was red darf,then little britain,then are u smarter then a fifth grader.What next programme are they gonna copy??

  • Technically Little Britain wasn't stolen Matt and David still wrote it and stared in it.

    But i do agree that all our good shows have to be copied and "made better" by the Americans and always putting "good looking people in thr shows

    it does get rly annoying

    But whose line US was good :D

  • "But i do agree that all our good shows have to be copied and "made better" by the Americans"...WAY over simplified, bud...the USA versions are only redone to make them accessible to Americans, there is a LOT of UK based dialouge and references that most Americans just wouldnt 'get'...THATS the primary reason 'remakes' are done...so you might wanna climb off that high horse, since you Brits DO make AMAZING shows...no need to get all snooty about it...;)

  • How am i on a high horse or snooty.

    Brits watch American shows without thinking lets make a better version, also it's away to learn out about other cultures and if you make your own version you don't learn, you just hear stuff you know.

    It's also a away for American companies to make a profit without the need to create a new story our characters.

    P.S Are there any Foreign shows that the UK have made there own version for?

  • 'Brits watch American shows without thinking lets make a better version'...See, there's your problem...you are PRESUMING that the reason the show is remade is due to the USA thinking they will 'make it BETTER'...thats NOT it at all, they get remade because the original version contains too many cultural differences, IE, refs to UK society/products/politics/term­inology....its the way the 'suits' think is all. Usually the redone material is lackluster (as it was here) but not entirely AWFUL...;)

  • But don't worry i do like some american remake of British Shows like Whose line and the office

    But I Will never forgive America for what you did to "Italian Job" LOL!

  • but the advertisement campaign for the office here "like your office, only funnier" that is rude and bragging lol

  • Ok, that IS lame...my apologies for all of the smeggers here in the USA...;)

  • But I Will never forgive America for what you did to "Italian Job" LOL!

    THAT was a UK film first? Jeez, I'd bet my LIFE your original film was better than the pile o' crap USA version (BOOOR-ring!...:)

  • Well it was completely different to the American version (your's is an action while our was a Comic caper movie) it was Michael Cain film he played the butler in the new batman films (Just encase you don't know him)

    it's a British classic that unlike the American one has something to do with Italy lol

  • Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader is actually the original version. Our version Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old is based on it.

  • yup they couldnt get a guy who was as good so doug got him in, even though they didnt pay atenshion to a thing he said he wrote a script for usa but no one would listen

  • Kryten actually.

  • Was Robert Lywellen Kryten in both series?
