I guess I don't get why we don't just show the UK versions of various shows unchanged over here. If I want to see the UK versions of Skins, The Office, QaF, and dozens of others, I generally have to get it from Netflix or some other source other than my television. If the American media giants are so damn impressed with a UK show, why not just broadcast the damn show in its original form?
I don't know. I prefer British versions in general. American versions are always too overthought, melodramatic, and sensationalized. I'm sure the Brits are guilty of this as well, but American tv is DRENCHED in it so I appreciate something that's not obnoxiously over the top every now and then.
