the british invasion?

[wamdue]

I assume this is due to the strike, but there seems to be alot of British TV shows in the fall upfronts, hell there are a few shows from down under and even one from Israel

from ABC, Life on Mars & British format Opportunity Knocks, this from a network with more than its fair share of British formats already.

from CBS, Worst Week & Eleventh Hour

actually im almost willing to forgive 11th Hour, between ITV & Patrick Stewart, its not like theres ever going to be a 2nd series of the short lived UK version.

the CW, well they have got one thing right.

FOX, along with Idol & anything involving Gordon Ramsay we have Secret Millionaire (what ABC felt like they had enough C4 formats ? )

NBC on the other hand continues to make the most of the Office, launching a spin-off and even shipping in whole shows form the BBC in the form of "Merlin"

whilst from Australia, NBC gives us Kath & Kim, & FOX gives us Sit Up, Sit Down

some days I think ill wake up, and find NBC has added all 4 weekly episodes of EastEnders to its schedule

and god help me if ABC fuck up Life on Mars

And despite all that, Life on Mars aside, the rest is all pretty much rubbish.....

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Well I'll at least give a couple of those a chance, Life on Mars, maybe Eleventh Hour and I'll definitely be checking out Merlin when it's on BBC One, but I don't even watch our versions of the rest.

 

[wamdue]

ill certainly give 11th Hour a shot, like I said I am disappointed that there wasn't more

& your right, aside from Life on Mars, I dont watch the British version of the shows either
