Case in point. Office, Queer as Folk etc. I Love American TV including ALL the commercials, but this culture of selling your show to the states, doesnt always translate. I guess its turned on his head a little to appeal to those watching, but still, nothing is ever as good as the originals.
Remember Life on Mars?
You know the BAFTA and Emmy award wining BBC police drama, the one where Sam goes back to the 1970s and his boss is the double-hard Gene Hunt. Play this short trailer just to remind yourself how good it was.
Right now look what America has done with. Epic fail or what?
Note to America TV Networks, STOP REMAKING OUT STUFF YOU SUCK
Yes. Epic fail. I thought the trailer was a joke at the start. The ridiculous voice over didn’t help… Sigh. I feared this would happen.
Dear People of America,
Please ignore this obvious tripe. It will eat your brain.
Watch the British version [see posted video]. It’s quite brilliant.
Sincerely

[I agree with Emma in that there have been some very good remakes, but come on…]
PS - I used to own a Cortina exactly the same colour as Sam’s. Er, it wasn’t 1973, but it was a 1973 model…Funny story about that, though…
