Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy.

Colm Meany is going to be in the US Life On Mars.

I don't understand the need we have here to Americanize all these great British shows (although The Office US is excellent)(and are we really Americanizing it if all the actors are British?), but I think that is an excellent casting choice.

I really need to get around to watching the second season.

... why, Lord, why?

It's not as if the Americanisations are awful or anything, but it hurts the British part of my soul. *shakes fist* leave us our tiny cult triumphs, big networks!

I hear they want to do an american Vicar of Dibley. D:

That's not entirely true. The American Coupling was just painful. The US version of Red Dwarf never made it past the pilot. Men Behaving Badly was pretty bad as well. I get doing American versions of your gameshows, but I don't understand why we can't just have the Brit version of your regular shows over here.

It's not like you guys make British versions of Lost or Stargate or something. You watch the regular one. Why can't we? *pouts* I like British people.

OMG, an American version of Vicar of Dibley? Are you serious? Just give us Vicar of Dibley. It's not like it hasn't been on here before. I used to watch it all the time on PBS. *shakes head*

*sighs* I really don't understand why they can't show the UK version, though I suppose English seasons are much shorter and the execs want to milk the idea for all it's worth.

Yeah, it was on the long list of the shows being considered for production 2007/8 season. I don't even know if the pilot was made, or if it's been given an order for more episodes. I so hope not, because I just can't work out how they'd do it. There's nothing like the Cotswolds in the States.
