The reverse happened with Steptoe And Son. The B & W sries were comedy gold and stonewall classics but when it was eked out for Colour (with a few really good exceptions) it lost it's way. The Steptoerai is a perfect example. Awful awful episode that involved Kung Fu. That's not what steptoe was about at all.

Hard to imagine that Harry H Corbett was considered the UK answer to Marlon Brando before he did that.

They were both fine actors in their own right. That's what made it so damn good.

Mind you, Peep Show is going into its sixth season and still is as strong as ever.

I watched the US version before the British version, which probably explains why I like the US version a little better. I still thought that the British version was amazing though. Ricky Gervais is a comic genius. As for the US version, give it some time and wait until the actors get a feel for their characters. Season 1 can be pretty slow but Season 2 is just amazing. Probably one of the best seasons of any comedy in my opinion.

Im going through the 2nd season of the US version, and I'm starting to like it but I miss the British version. Did any of the original cast ever make a cameo on the American show?

Every time I see this show I tell myself I need to watch it more, but I always forget. I love what I've seen, though. My friend has all the season's on DVD. I might borrow them.

I've seen every episode of both versions, and though they're both great, the british owns.

Not yet, but lets hope it's coming.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
