Jeez, that's what happened with Queer as Folk and others: one year, one series, and then the inevitable remake.

If this still applies, then all I can say is I really feel for the American crowd right now.
The Inbetweeners, Gavin & Stacey and now Friday Night Dinner, give it a rest maybe?

'Friday Night Dinner' is just full of British humour, it might even translate to the US audience worse than 'The Inbetweeners'.
shareI know something for certainty, their version of the 'The Inbetweeners' is unspeakably bad. It'll take a miracle to remake something as poorly as they did that.

With Greg Daniels involved and the fact that the original version of this show isn't particularly incredible, the remake stands to be vastly superior.

This show is incredibly boring in its original version, so the American one has my blessing. That is not the case with something like the Inbetweeners US, which is a travesty.
As it stands, this show is literally about an utterly uninteresting family's dinnertime chaos, stretched over half an hour. If anything, Americanizing it would actually add some physically attractive people so as to keep the audience awake.

Ughhhh, why?
I mean... I get why. Because there's no money to be made airing the UK version when most of the folks who want to see it will have through other means, legal or otherwise.
But still... why?
And I guess I'm the only one who had no idea there was an American version of The Inbetweeners. What network did that air on?
