When it comes to importing a foreign TV series to America, they want that "feel" changed to a way Americans can relate. When networks bring a show to America like Life on Mars? or The Office, they are buying the premise. Outside of that everything on these Americanized shows are rebuilt for the American audience. I'm not saying that's right, but that is the best way to sell this product to America. There are not many foreign shows that reach mainstream America outside speciality networks like BBC America, CBC, Telemundo, or Univision.
