The Office sucked the first year but now we think we might like it better than the UK one (well, that’s not going to happen but you get the idea). This has been going on for generations. Sanford and Son was ripped off from Steptoe and Son. Three’s Company was from the UK’s Man About the House. Now HBO is going to try the same trick with Little Britain. It’s the same guys doing it only this time they’ll be taking advantage of the fact that America has literally ten times the number of characters in their country. How can they blow this?

I love Little Britain. America will ruin it. It’ll probably end up like all those *Genre* Movie parodies. Just like Life on Mars is turning into shit.

Did you know an American adaptation of “Faulty Towers” was attempted many years ago that WROTE OUT the character of Basil Faulty? I hate the US for making good British shows bad, and bringing over bad ideas for shows (American Idol, the format for Best Week Ever, etc.)
