CBS Ghosts has a bigger fandom, and I've had so many ppl tell me that BBC isn't as good. Imo they're both great.

The American version is so much better. And the American version did not ruin ghost it actually made it better and more enjoyable to watch.

I really liked the show and I still do. But I agree like most shows that run for many years they do tend to get ‘weird’. Also Melissa Joan Hart is an absolute goddess and genius. 💯

I’ve shown this video to multiple fans of Grease. This video is fascinating and I would love to see a Grease film that stays closer to the stage show

You nailed it. I wanna be a teen witch, not Sabrina

I'm sorry, your American is showing. Taskmaster UK is phenomenal! Too many Americans have the attention span of a teaspoon.

Americans don't seem to understand what it means to participate in something where the competition, winning, and ego simply play no role... nobody does self-deprecation like the British.

The German version is way better. In OT its kinda dark

In addition, it needs to be stressed just how obnoxiously loud the TM US audience were. Not everything needs to be whooped at, not every joke is a belly laugh, and watching something that tries to brainwash me otherwise pushes me away.

Yanks just don't understand silly and whimsical

Yeah, nah, this synopsis is completely misguided. Waste of time.

I see your points, but still love the show. It's just refreshingly simple entertainment - not everything needs much depth or realism. Same recipe as "I Dream of Jeannie".

I watched Taskmaster US and the problem wasn't the running time, it was the fact that they had a person as Taskmaster, that didn't commandeer the kind of respect that a Taskmaster should have. Also they had a crazy lady on the show that shouted "my c*ck" every 15 seconds.

It was rewritten/recreated by the Hart family, not nebulous Hollywood employees. Melissa's parents did it. Specifically her mother.

As someone who has never seen an episode of the British show and has only seen clips of the American show, the American show is better because it’s the one that exists in my mind

There is an upside to not fleshing out the characters from the get go, you can let them grow along with the stories as the series unfold, and we get to see their growth, and you can fill in, the various reasons for why they're all there, which was done for basically all of them. And it works very well, because the writers use it right. Basically we get to meet them as very blank slates, and as we get to know them, we see they're very much like any other person, with their strengths and weaknesses.

I haven't watched the video but I love the show

Well Star Trey was overly repetitive. The reacquiring theme was all about ELOCUTION !!! The Orville is just like most all of Seth MacFarlane's shows and such, all focus on real life issues and make people think.

The puppet is annoying.

Soo that's weird but I hadn't see the show in ages, and yesterday I fond reruns I was quite excited... But I discovered it was season 5 it was not nostalgic what was all that this bs cast I didn't remember those guys! Yet... Without the context of earlier better episodes fresh in my mind I... Did found it messy but still way better than I thought it would be (but like you I was expecting to look at the show with some disdain only to be surprised at the overall writting)

the Brits are sic for creating this script ... we had to make corrections to make it better -- without the accent ...

Ireland is not part of the uk your map is of the British isles not the uk

You left out "Red Dwarf"

Both are enjoyable, but i dont watch the US one repeatedly

wow you have the depth of a teaspoon, if you think our cast is 'just hanging out,' or just having family visit!.. and there is loads of character development

Glad to hear you gave the show a second chance and enjoyed it more.

Your case is well reasoned and persuasive, however I do not agree and would like to counter it, hopefully for your own better enjoyment of Wednesday the show, should you want to revisit it. First, the most obvious point is that Wednesday the show isn't trying to be The Addams Family because if they wanted to make that, they would have. Tim Burton has chosen to place the focus on a single member of the family so it naturally will have a different dynamic. That said, how different are the rest of the Family who we meet along the way? Gomez and Pugsley enjoy a bowl of potpourri together. Morticia looks out of the car at stormclouds remarking that it will be a beautiful day. Fester delights in consuming an entire bottle of ketchup. Everyone else is still behaving like the family we remember. There is a major difference in that for the first time we have a cast of supporting characters who are explicitly not human and instead are werewolves, vampires etc. The joke now being that the Addams family are still unknowingly considered weird by this group which are outsiders to wider society. Wednesday herself is the exception. She does understand that she is considered weird by those around her. I don't think this is inconsistent with her previous portrayals where she is consistently smart, she is able to see herself and her family for what they are. What is different is that she has been deliberately made older than previous incarnations. Turing 16 during the course of the show to Christina Ricci's 12 and Lisa Lorings 6. Wednesday is now a young adult and finding her own way and pushing back against the world, like teenagers do. There is a fair deal of consistency between the 60s show, the 90s movies and Wednesday the show in Wednesday as a character. In the 60s she stood up to bullies, even giving one boy a black eye and had been given enough martial arts training to throw Gomez on his back. She wore a native American headress once for a game, beginning a trend in showing sympathy with indigenous people. That was continues into the 90s with her leading the revolt at the summer camp's thanksgiving play and her contempt for the privileged fellow campers (note how Gomez and Morticia were still cheerfully socialising with them in that same scene you mentioned). Now in her own show Wednesday is closer to adulthood and frustrated by the world around her. She doesn't see a difference between the bullies and cliques at her old school and Nevermore. She stands up to bullies and befriends the bullied. Lastly I see a different moral of the show to yourself. Wednesday doesn't learn to conform. Instead she learns not to rebuff those who love her for how she is. While Wednesday may be initially horrified by Enid's cheerful demeanour and colourful wardrobe, she learns to look past that and she her character as a true friend. They establish boundaries very early on and crucially neither tries to change the other to be more like themselves. In keeping with both Charles Addams and Tim Burton's delight in the darker sides of life Wednesday steadfastly remains true to herself through her show, like a modern telling of Shakespeare's Melancholy Jaques. Maybe not the little girl coming home in tears because a neighbour told her there was no such thing as witches, but a hero for the neurodivergent and those who feel like outsiders watching. 🖤

I've seen both. I liked the American version a bit better, which surprised me, as usually I like British comedy better.

Its a show that both versions are good, dont argue just agree

Re: Greased Lightnin’-it’s a little more nuanced than just “this car will attract women”. The rise in popularity of cars among teens in the 50s and 60s was kind of a major cultural shift, and one of the reasons why courtship was definitively replaced with dating. It also gave teens access to one thing that wasn’t at all prevalent before-Privacy. Cars were a major contribution to the rise of teen subculture in general. Or maybe I’m just over-thinking it because Grease is my current hyperfixation lol. But whether or not the song is referencing it, cars among teens in the 50s were A Big Deal™️

There is a french canadian version called "Le maître du jeu" (on Noovo) that concludes it's 3rd season. The format is pretty similar (except no tiebreakers for some reasons). The dynamic of the two hosts is pretty similar but more tame and a bit less confrontational. The tasks are coming from the same "book" as the UK version. A lot of repeats. And the tasks are mostly shot during summer at a ski resort.

Lol you are so ignorant of American history. America had a lot more history prior to 1600s.

Good old ALF, all us kids loved that show. My parents would always let us watch it. The good old days

Check out Reel History's video on this show, the ghosts Hetty and Elias Woodstone were based on the ironmaster and mogul Elias Baker and his wife Hetty Woods-Baker and their Baker Mansion in Altoona PA, one of the largest known haunted homes in Pennsylvania, now a museum that hosts events and aperitif parties on the lawn, the family fortune later funding several city buildings and facilities in the area

Alf left the house many times. He also had a group of people who knew him… Jake, the psychiatrist, Jodi, the elderly people at that retirement home, Kates mom, , Wizzer, Willie’s brother… I don’t understand this criticism… of course it’s ridiculous… it’s still a great show.

"And for once, I think the German people are right." -Shawn B. Ryan, 2022, 22:20 Curious to see if the German people have a critically high rate of failure elsewhere on this channel. Jokes aside, this was a fascinating analysis with some great points. Really love how you touched on the good and the bad of everything. I feel like Alf peaked very early in S1E2. From start to finish, it's golden. Whatever the rest of the show may have been, that one episode is one of my favorite sitcom episodes from any show. Also has one of the greatest opening themes ever given to a show. First half of the show's theme is my preferred version, but the later seasons' version is also crazy good.

How to adapt a British comedy to America Step 1 make the characters likable Step 2 make the show funny British humor is really bland for some reason but they are definitely more artistic and I do prefer them using the main cast to play multiple characters

This is probably the meanest video I have ever seen.

wednesday the pride of my time

Commenting on this video a few years later, I’d like to say all of my reasons about why this video is pretty bad 1. you’re ripping into a sitcom that is really old and looking at through the eyes of someone who doesn’t understand it. 2. There are definitely worse picks You could’ve chosen like the Big Bang theory, for example the acting is cringe and most of the jokes are either hit or miss. As a fan of this sitcom, I respect your opinion on it, but I also wanted to critique your points

Alf was a product of its time and fit in perfectly with all the other family sitcoms that had some sort of gimmick.

Dude used a lot of words to say he is too dim with too short an attention span to get it. The word hasnt lost anything by losing taskmaster US

Everybody talking about character development in the uk version that's not even the point of the video

I like the hangout plot, thanks.

_All in the Family_ and _Sanford & Son_ did all right. I actually thought _Gracepoint_ could have gone some interesting directions had it continued. David Tennant's accent was improving.

In the 60's show, wanting "to be a part of the community" was part of the charm, but now it gets a disappointing sigh? It's an odd criticism because it wrongly equates wanting to be a part of the community with conformity.

I truly love this movie. Beverly and Howard has a love that is interesting and like you said, challenges with him and jokes with him. I wouldn't change a thing. I don't know why it got the stigma worst film in history , it's incredibly beautiful , witty and fun and funny. The music the rock portion and score are stella. The animation is good to. I just love his voice, it was perfect for him.

As a Brit who is watching both shows I can honestly say even though I like the British version I like the American version better they are both excellent I really want to know what Hetty’s power is

Man I love my British exclusive time periods like the Prehistoric, WORLD War and especially the 80s Can’t believe people skipped those periods

if you know so well how to make it better, then go do it... i'll bet you can't do it, but you can prove me wrong.
