Well, I think this proves that americans don't understand British comedies.

Your Views?

Americans can't do British comdey...it's impossible...

Red Dwarf
Steptoe & Son
Fawlty Towers
Men Behaving Badly

All of these (and many more I'd bet) have been made into US comedies...and they have all sucked BIG TIME!!! But then it works the other way too...

Golden Girls
Married With Children
Who's The Boss?

We remade all of those...and they all sucked too.

People Like Us is amazing. It's better than The Office in many ways.

Shame series 2 doesn't seem to have surfaced on DVD though, the airport one was one of the best.

Yeah, but I expect they were very different types of humour.

And fly-on-the-wall "mockumentaries" and nothing new - anyone ever see People Like Us?

The Office itself was heavily inspired by the american show Larry Sanders, which was, amazingly, a fly-on-the-wall office based show with no overdubbed laughter or anything. Ricky Gervais has cited Garry Shandling has a huge influence on him... so this whole topic is silly as the Americans did it first (and better - over the course of 9 series no less)
