First broadcast was last Thursday. Wasn't too bad. Probably cause it was almost a 'word for word' copy of the English version, except it's set in New York instead of Manchester.
I wish the original had run more than two series. I thought it was a fantastic show, and was upset when it ended.
I know some are gonna complain that American television keeps copying, but I think it's a compliment. A good show is a good show, no matter where it was created, and should be shared with as many as possible. Like good art or wine.
I think one of the reasons American television keeps looking for new ideas on your side of the pond, is because your shows are less formulaic. Either that or American network writers are just getting lazy.
P.S. I've read that they're making an American version of 'Top Gear' as well. Can't ever be as good as the original. I wonder if the new hosts (Jimmy Kimmel for one) will hate American cars as much as Jeremy?
