ABC to remake Spooks in the USA!

And of course ironically we're not disagreeing, just discussing semantical differences.

I'm with you on The Office. I'm not so much a fan of most comedies these days.

They made a US version of Coupling called Coupling. Coupling is basically a similar concept to Friends, but not a "remake". The US version of Coupling really was the same show with a few cultural references changed. That's probably why it only lasted a handful of episodes. It was badly done.

We'll see. Assuming it makes it to the air.

The problem I see with a US version of Spooks is American television is too PC. They wouldn't tackle the topics they do in the UK version. Also, there really is no IRA equivalent in the US, so there goes several plot lines. I'd really like it if they just treated it as a spin off show and have them occasionally and infrequently interact with the UK version. One example would be NCIS and NCIS: LA or the Law & Order franchise.
