An American Spaced????

[bassman]

This is a friggin horrible idea..... http://latinoreview.com/news/spaced-...o-america-3181 Why not at least release the f*cking original show on DVD in America before you try to rip it off?!? Damn, this pisses me off. And the guy that's writing it is the guy behind "Will and Grace".

Ug, if it even gets beyond a pilot, it'll suck balls, it'll no doubt be gargling in them. Indeed, release the proper version, because it's the ONLY version. You can't remake a show like Spaced, it's unlike any other show. It's not like something like The Office or Coupling where there are identifiable thematic elements, and the styles are way out there, but with Spaced it's unlike anything else. But then again, there's a distinct lack of imagination and originality in American media of late.

Well, it's obvious what most people will have to say about this, but nevertheless... bollocks to that idea

err, could you imagine an american version?, canned laughter, washed up pop stars doing cameos and really bad acting? anyone eve rsee the pilot for the remake of re ddwarf which still used the proper actors in the opening credits

Oh my GAR, the American Red Dwarf pilot was cock-bendingly bad. That Bierko or whatever his name is bloke is alright in my book, but the show itself - just no no no. I can't remember which series of UK RD it was, but on the DVD for it they did a whole bit about the American pilot and showed a bunch of clips (I ended up downloading the actual pilot from t'internet). Thank heavens they never took it to series, the original show is the f*cking Daddy, nuff said.

As an American, I offer my apologies to my UK brothers who once again have to endure another USA show ripped off from them. The Hollywood system embarrasses me on some level much more than the fumblings of our political system. As a media consumer, I fart in the general direction of Hollywood and the entire stupid mainstream entertainment system which cannot seem to come up with original ideas and instead mines the UK, the EU and Asia for things to rip off and adapt into an inferior American version. Or trolls old hit movies for possible "reimaginings" Oh, the humanity!

I managed to Tivo 13 episodes of spaced from BBC America and Loved it!!! I have been waiting for the rest of the shows...but nothing has been released... I just saw they are releasing kenny vs. spenny in my country now...I enjoyed the original of course on BBC America and I don't know if the original caste is in the us version but it will not be as good...I can just feel it.

Spaced only ran for 2 series, both were 7 episodes long. So 14 episodes was as long as it went for.

That's how I first saw Spaced, as well. You can actually see the entire series on Youtube....

*high five* You've got the entire DVD collection all lined up so it spells the title as well? Yeaaaaah... And yes, it is an awesome show.

[bassman]

On Edgar Wright's page, he's calling for the American version of Spaced be labeled as "McSpaced".
