The show is based on cliches and catchphrases, and that kind of forumula is inherantly limited. The Fast Show got stale the same way.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the American version will be a way to make it fresh again - new characters and cultures. Personally, I'm pessimistic.Kapitanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647896216499813443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11851176.post-1157290359218393782006-09-03T09:32:00.000-04:002006-09-03T09:32:00.000-04:00Hello hairybears!I'm very glad I checked out your ...Hello hairybears!<BR/><BR/>I'm very glad I checked out your site from home.

I can't imagine an American version -- unless it had the same British comedy style translated to American locations, which could actually be very interesting and I don't think has ever really been done before.<BR/><BR/>I won't bet on that interpretation though.Moncrief Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581719197784065295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11851176.post-1157206932938742382006-09-02T10:22:00.000-04:002006-09-02T10:22:00.000-04:00I tried watching the US QasF and I thought it was ...I tried watching the US QasF and I thought it was atrocious. It was a moderate success though as it introduced more nudity and became an outright soap opera.<BR/><BR/>In the same arena, the L Word was a much better program, better acting and better storylines, in my mind.<BR/><BR/>David, woo did Coupling ever bomb.<BR/><BR/>Dan, yeah that's true. It will be on HBO which means the audience will automatically be a bit brighter and high incomed, so that should help.

I just read in the French magazine «Têtu» it became a huge success in the USA, even more bold in some aspects than the British original itself.
