i wish americans would come up with their own creative television shows. i feel like so many of the popular shows have all been remade from the UK versions. it's pathetic. do the brits ever take on an american franchise? they did just spin out a UK version of Law & Order (and it's pretty good) but that's the only one that comes to mind.

But the creators of Skins actively sought after making a US version. They wanted to tell more stories and adapt it to a US audience -- not that it needs adapting, but tbqh, if the Skins creators had their way there would be a different version of Skins for every country (which is what they said).

And yes, there have been plenty UK remakes of US shows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_television_programmes_based_on_American_television_series
