    Most of the TV I watch is British shows....Personally, I don't understand doing American remakes, just air the original British shows, they're wonderful!

    I love a lot of British TV shows. In fact I think there are more good shows on in the UK than here in the US. I watch QI, Have I got news for you, Russell Howard's good news, mock the week, Dr who, versa, mi 5, Bailey and Scott and so many others.

    A really successful sitcom over here (UK) in the late 1970s/early 1980s was "Porridge" about a man - Norman Stanley Fletcher - and his life in prison.

    Nothing was 'stolen', the rights were purchased from the original British station and an agreement was reached between the British and American networks.

    Being Human. I loved that show (the original UK version).

    Just found your videos! As a Brit living in America, they have been very useful in educating my american friends :)

    I enjoy learning more about British culture, but not a fan of the off-hand comments about the USA. I didn't think that was what this show was about. Nonetheless, I do think it's interesting.

    I loved The Inbetweeners! Then they did the American remake on MTV and it was sooooo bad. Ugh. Though, I didn't exactly have high hopes for it anyway. They literally copied everything exactly and Americanized it and it just didn't translate too well. A couple of years ago, I read that there was going to be an American version of Misfits. So glad that never happened. That DEFINITELY wouldn't translate well.

    You scared me when you mentioned The Dukes of Hazard. There's a few BBC shows I absolutely love watching reruns of; "Are You Being Served", "Keeping up Appearances" and "As Time Goes By"
