It gets better season 2 and even more in season 3. I'm on four now which started off rocky for me but now developing well. I've missed 3 episodes of it though so I will catch up later.

This show is actually pretty great and Erin Karpluk is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen.

I caught that show once or twice and I enjoyed it. I hear that they are making an american remake of it.

And a British one, apparently.

I don't often see the need for remakes. All this talk of remakes is only making me think that I missed something good, and therefore should probably watch the original.

Been watching Marcel's Quantum Kitchen lately and its rather enjoyable to see his creations in general and the work that goes into making obscure cuisine.

I don't really see the need for remakes either. I sometimes still associate the remaking of a show with lack of originality and new ideas. Like when they brought back Hawaii Five-O. They seriously couldn't think up a new idea so they had to dig up one that is 40 years old?

I know that sometimes remakes can be very successful and very good shows in their own right, and I know that sometimes a director or a writer will take a particularly old show or film and attempt to bring it into the modern day. These are often flawed, and you could argue that it is unnecessary, that's fine. I do however feel there is a challenge involved there though, artistically.

I think what I really dislike more than anything though, is when a show is made and becomes popular and almost the automatic response for foreign networks is to make their own version of it. Are we really so unable to embrace another culture that we can't just watch the original series, but rather we have to have a version remade for our own culture and our own audience?

Yeah that is how I feel about remakes myself especially the second half.

I felt that way when they decide to do a US remake of Life On Mars. Granted they did a beautiful job and I love both shows for different reasons but I don't get why they just couldn't re-air the British one for US Audiences.

I have tried to avoid finding out about the American remake of Life on Mars, as I have never seen it. I think I know what happens, unfortunately, but can't be sure.

If what I have heard is correct, then they missed the point of the original entirely. However, if it stands on it's own, then fair enough. If it stands on it's own though, of course, then I don't quite see the need to "remake" the show. I don't know.

I feel like you should check it out because it does stand on it's own imo. I think really with the music you hear it adds to the atomsphere of the story. The ending for the American one is different.

Anyone here watching The Killing (AMC)? It's really good, only a few episodes in and I'm addicted.

Remakes are OK sometimes. I would probably be the happiest person in the world if someone remade Twin Peaks and finished the show (or at least if someone made a final season with the original cast). However, I don't see the need for the remake of Being Erica. Or Coupling. Or Death At A funeral. I mean, if a movie or a TV show is filmed in English, why the need for a remake that is also in English?

I haven't brought myself to watch the remake of Death at a Funeral yet. It really does look like I would be so disappointed in it.

Avoid it!

It's one of those movies where they have too many funny people in it and it ends up being unfunny.

Similar to Grown Ups

Probably more drama in Twin Peaks than in some of his movies, but I will enjoy it.

Was the ending good? NO DON'T TELL ME!!! I saw every episode of the American version and loved it, but I missed the very last episode!:( Now I have to go find that show and the original series.

What about Freaks and Geeks? Seeing as how all the original cast members are old now, a remake would be the only way to restart it.

I've been watching World Strictest Parents and Britain's Fattest Family. Rubbish but brain easing rubbish.

thinking of getting the entire Justice League cartoon serials on DVD also

You'll be surprised especially if you saw the UK one and think you know how it ends.

Should I finish the American version and then watch the British one, watch the British one first, or does it even matter?

Watch the British one first because it's better.

By that logic, I should watch the American version first, cause if I watch the British one first I won't enjoy the Ameerican one as much. Especially if they have different endings and won't ruin each other.

The British version doesn't have an ending.
Well, it has an ending to the series but doesn't explain the whole concept of the show.

You'll have to watch all 3 series of Ashes To Ashes if you want that.

Just finish the American one off first and then delve into the British one because they have a spin off that deals with a female in the 80s

im really into the walking dead, skins, and rob and big.

I just finished watching Freaks And Geeks. Why did this get cancelled? I mean, how does something as good as this get cancelled and yet crap like Ghost Whisperer runs for 5 seasons?

Unfortunately that's how TV seems to work :(

watched a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert on tv yesterday

she's fat and didn't sing that well

i thought the Jonas Brothers cameo was much better

:laughing:

Why on earth would you sit through that?

Netflix doesn't really give me that many options, been watching Wildboyz and King of the Hill, possibly the greatest show ever created.

Netflix has a pretty decent selection when it comes to movies, but you're right. Their selection of TV shows doesn't really offer much.

I've been watching a lot of Black Books, Peep Show, Modern Family and 30 Rock in the past few weeks. Black Books is my favorite of these four. :D

I've been watching Shin Chan.
Love that show.

am a somewhat mild Miley fan after Party in the USA

Hahaha. But no really, you're banned.

My flatmate and I have been going back and watching all of the series Home Improvement :laughing:

I have no idea what possessed us to do this but it's actually a pretty good/funny show and it brings back childhood memories!

probably watching the new Hawaii 5-0 in a while

Used to watch that show every night back in the day...good times.

I love Home Improvement!

just saw the new Hawaii 5-0

can't say I'm very impressed

too much macho bullshit and eye candy (mostly women in bikinis) disguise what is basically another yet CSI clone

OMG I used to watch this show religiously. Along with Saved By The Bell.
