But there are a lot of British shows we import as-is are that are very popular. Aemon Send a noteboard - 08/02/2013 05:14:24 AM
Doctor Who and Downton Abbey, for example. Top gear, too; particularly since the British version is actually MORE popular than the American remake. I think that makes it hard to argue that shows are remade so that Americans can understand them. I know I said this before, but it's like a movie reboot. They didn't reboot Spiderman because people had trouble understanding the cultural references of the early 2000s (timeframe of the previous trilogy), they did it because it was a proven, popular story.

I think it's more likely that the studios just want an easy source of new material. Aemon - 06/02/2013 10:16:03 PM 970 Views
