What would they make of Likely Lads, Queenies Castle and Common as Muck (Edward Woodward RIP), Rab C Nesbitt and other essentially British comedies.
Did you see The Office? Also, apparently there was an American remake of Red Dwarf. It bombed.
The US version of Red Dwarf was awful, they made Lister into a square-jawed American hero type character


I seem to recall hearing that even the American public hated it. I think I saw about it on a Red Dwarf documentary? I dunno, was years ago..
