Again I just dont understand this. Whats with remaking UK shows for US audiences? It very rarely happens the other way around. Do TV execs in the US think their viewers are so stupid they just wont get the UK versions because of cultural differences or that they wont warm to it unless its tailored to american viewers? Its utter horseshit. I hear theres an American version of Shameless now as well? If they love the originals why not just broadcast them. Or at least in the case of Shameless, it could be a spin off, with new characters, set across the pond, instead of giving the characters the same names and making it a remake?
Pffft.
