I'm of course referring to The Inbetweeners. High quality comedy, right there, and you killed it.
Why?
Do you find it funny at all? How? It's a bajillion times worse than the original.

The UK version ran dry months ago.

I watched one episode of the American version and I didn't like it. I never even knew it already existed overseas until I saw it on Netflix, but I didn't watch it.

I eat my milk...

...without any milk.

I don't even know what you're talking about so I'm just going to smile and nod my head.

I change shapes just to hide in this place but im still im still an animal...

Just look at Life on Mars USA, and Red Dwarf USA, Americans just love copying good shows to make themselves look good. A lot of their star actors in their own shows are usually british. They have a nasty habit of also feeling the need to remake every foreign film to call it their own.

Now let's get down to business, I don't got no time to play around, what is this?

I knew this would be about The Inbetweeners. Yes, America ruined it.

The Wonderful LeSieg!

That show was 'k. The U.S. version sucked, but it honestly wasn't that great to begin with.

Plus we don't ruin everything, our Office > UK Office (until that past two seasons)

Our version was never good so I can only imagine how awful the US version is.

The UK version sucks so it obviously translated over to America pretty well.

Also the 2 different school systems don't work when you try and copy one of them.

Red Dwarf USA never happened....ever

On the other hand, Shameless is much better in the US than UK.

Don't start with "Country A" stole TV show idea from "Country B." Every established country "steals" ideas from one another.

The American version of Top Gear is clearly inferior to the UK one.

But that's about it. I like both Office shows.

The reason they suck is because they are dumbed down for the American audience.

I have a thing for that old show Keeping Up Appearances.

Great show.

It was ok when I was younger but not anymore, they are making a new one soon.

I agree that all presidents should serve 2 terms. 1 in office and 1 in prison

I thought you were talking about Top Gear. The US butchered it. Along with Death at a funeral. The original one was funnier.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

At least it's been cancelled now.

Rumour has it a second Inbetweeners film is going to be made, but it better be funnier than the first one. Had all of one laugh out loud moment for me. :/
