US version Sucks.

Wow, no wonder the US version flopped on TV. The BBC version was much better.

@maxogram Technically "Friends" is the us version, since it was actually based on "coupling (bbc)" and that was a pretty great show, but of coarse the original is always better.

this scene wasn't actually that bad

Lol - I hear the BBC are remaking "Lost" - it's set on the Isle of Wight and stars Danny Dyer as Jack and Katie Price as Kate. Leslie Grantham will play Johnathan Locket (who was called John Locke in the original US series).

The scripts will be largely the same - but they'll get padded out to fill the 1 hour uninterrupted running time of each episode.

Never, never, never.

@tyllabradley - RIGHT ON! Another American here who agrees! This is horrid and I back up that apology with another one.

The only thing i found funny about that was the fact that it was Jack Carter from Eureka as Patrick.

US shows don't translate well to the UK either. The BBC version of Sex and the City featured men, one of which was Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from BTVS), and it was horrid. It's not the dialogue or the direction, but the right actors and the chemistry between the actors. If you don't have that, the best lines still fall flat.

The only show that translated from BBC to US were Sanford and Son, that I remember. The problem isn't the lines, but the actors. They are the wrong ones to play the roles. It's not always about who looks the best, but who fits the characters the best.

The sad thing is I've seen some of these actors act well in other TV shows. They can act, but the snippets I've seen aren't very flattering to their talent.

I'm an American and i LOVE the British version and can't believe America tried to re create this brilliant show. But I do like this actor (b/c of Eureka) and " Let him live" was funny. But he is not Ben Miles. (Don't like choice for Sally)
