Why remake Friday Night Dinner just watch the original as it’ll be so much better then this version of the show will ever and can ever be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
American remakes of British sitcoms nine times out of ten nearly always suck that is just a matter of fact.
yes, I’m finding this with the series Ghosts. The UK version was great, I’m a few episodes into the US version and blegh!
Thus proving that this show really shouldn’t have been made at all.
After watching the first episode, I can definitively say this remake is absolutely horrible!
This really isn’t all that surprising to be honest as alot of American remakes of British sitcoms are usually bad and while there are a few exceptions to this rule they are very few and very far between.
So true!
for the most part i would 100% agree exceptions are 3’s company(us)vs man about the house(gb), sanford and son(us)vs steptoe and son(gb), shameless(us)vs shamless(gb) the us version was for me hands down better, most recently ghosts(us)vs ghosts(gb) although its a toss up for me which is better on this one. i’m sure there are others these are just first ones that come to mind. btw thanks for the heads up on this one!
I was a huge fan of the original The Office UK - and resisted watching the US version for a long time. Until my daughter kept nagging me. Then during Covid, I watch the whole US The Office and I loved it so much that I miss it today…. so maybe this will work? The UK version was pretty great. And Shameless US was ultimately better than the UK version.. (in my opinion)… let’s see.
