Remakes

[Effulgent]

WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THEM? do you hate them or love them? what are your favourite/least favourite remakes?

would you like to shout at people who remake tv shows when the same language is spoken in the original?

have you seen a remake and would ever consider watching the original?

have you seen both the original and remake and thought the remake was better? SO-SO-SO-SO-SCANDALOUSSSSSS!

My Beloved Life On Mars is getting remade for ABC, by the guy who created boston legal

[z]

the americam remake of the office is a mighty smash ! i cant get enough , oooh weee ooooh

im loooking forward to seeing the american life on mars i bet theyre 70's references are great too .
i think its fairenough for them to remake shows in english speaking countiries .

[Effulgent]

"ohh wee oohh" is that the theme tune? yeah I've heard that its come into its own which is good.

Have you seen the original smash hit series yet? you did say you were going to it might be good, but I'm not dancing around throwing confetti everywhere, the same way I wouldn't if the bbc decided to completely remake BTVS or an american network decided to remake Doctor Who.

yeah it's not like they can understand the language!

[z]

no its from the suede classic 'cant get enough '

i saw most of the eps , then downloaded the entire series but didnt watch it

all our good comedy stuff only gets about 6 eps every two years if we're lucky so why not remake it and have 22 great eps

[Effulgent]

bloody hell the used a suede tune as the theme tune? they should have just got Kelly Clarkson to do yet another cover of "Handbags and Gladrags"

OHH SO YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE REST OF THE SERIES? yet you're all "oh the remake will be fantastic!" like you know what the show is all about IT COULD BE A SHOW SET AT A NUDIST CAMP IN SOMERSET FOR ALL YOU KNOW thats like saying "oh man, the british remake of btvs will be fantastic, I can't wait to see who plays wompie, the vampire slayer slash stripper from ohio!"

yeah you're right, remake it, but with the same actors!

[z]

i dont think even she could inject life into that old mess

i saw 4 out of 6 ! i saw the first and the last the american one will be far superior and will have 100 eps to look back upon and the uk one will have 12
they should stop making series 2 and just show the american version instead!

*ignores the traitor*

THE AMERICAN REMAKE OF How Clean is Your House? IS A SMASH HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American Idols better than Pop Idol

[Effulgent]

Pop Idol/X Factor's simon cowell is better than American Idol's simon cowell!

America will never get Louis!

[z]

the A I versions better!

if ever there was a definitive reason to flee to america , you just gave it

[Effulgent]

oh please! he's more snarky and fantastic on his british reality tv shows!

Paula and Simon will never have the snarky entertaining relationship that Louis and Simon have and Ryan Sarcrest will never have the kind of forehead that Ant and Dec have!

[z]

they get to slag off his britishness there and take full advantage of that

it is good when Louis and Simon try to 'out' each other has Pop Idol been axed ?

[Effulgent]

as long as they think British = English, I'm ok

I love how fierce Louis is, and how mean they can be to each other, it's great television

I have no clue! I don't watch that rubbish! whats a garethy mcmanus?

[Effulgent]

James Van Der Beek got cast in the remake of Footballer's wives Xena (warrior princess) is going to be in it too


I think it would have been better if it was baseballer's wives it would have been more interesting, but if they want to go with american rubgy thats fine! I'm sure it'll be a great remake *cough*

crikey that makes me sad for old Dawson unless xenas his wag
