I never understand the need to do Americanized versions of British TV shows. Why not just show the original shows over here? It makes no sense. The Brits watch original American shows all of the time. I remember growing up there watching "Cheers" religiously.

I know that one of the arguements is a problem with understanding accents and slang but the same could be said of the British listening to American accents but they watch American shows all of the time. Everyone has an accent but they just don't realise it. When I first moved to Canada it took me a while to understand meanings and accents. Anyone, getting off topic now. Bottom line for me is that shows tend to lose something when they are redone and transformed. US Coupling for example was absolutely terrible but I love the UK version.

Call me stubborn but I don't think I'll be watching this version of "The Office."
