[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 307419, member: 23"] I've just discovered there was an American remake of [I]Porridge[/I]: [CENTER] (Series trailer from 26 minutes...) [MEDIA=youtube]7A4pEp8_O9o:1557[/MEDIA] And another little trailer here: [MEDIA=youtube]ddQ2XKhBW1Y[/MEDIA][/CENTER] It looks absolutely abysmal. Everyone's doing that bouncy, smiley, over-gesticulating, sing-song voiced "I'm in a wacky sitcom" thing. They sucked the heart and soul from brilliantly-written classic British sitcoms in the Seventies and Eighties, and it never worked. [/QUOTE]
