Coupling a la Yanks

This bugs me. Why can't they just import the original series and broadcast it to American audiences. It is retarded to refilm an entire series and replace actors with American ones. I remember how ill-fated this was for the yank version of Cold Feet, which is a shame because it is was actually a good show.

Rumour has it that TV execs are also looking to do the same thing to The Office.

PS. Kill me, I just blogged about TV. Kill me now. Kill me before I start posting Buffy episode recaps. Have mercy.
