Subject: Re: New American series

I don't know what you mean here.  Some American versions of British TV shows 
have been flip flops, but others ones really took off.  Just look at Being 
Human, Too Close For Comfort, Three's Company, Not Necessarily the News, The 
Office, Sanford and Son, American Idol and Queer and Folk.

I actually think it makes more sense to try launching an American version of 
Doctor Who while it's still popular and running in Britain.  Not only will 
help the ratings, but if it doesn't succeed we still have the original 
British version to watch, and if it does we have twice as much Doctor Who! 
It's win/win!

Not a hope in hell of it working (just look at all the other British shows
they've tried to Americanise - Americans simply don't understand British
shows), but thankfully it won't even be trying to since it's fake news.
