I don't understand how they can remake The Inbetweeners for America.
Because the comedy in the show is so very British and that's what makes it what it is.

It's like trying to make an American version of the Carry On films, it wouldn't work because the point of the them are their Britishness. It's like trying to remake Gossip Girl or Desperate Housewives in the UK, it takes the whole premise of the show away.

They might as well make a brand new show with a new name instead of buying the rights. The TV viewers must be very xenophobic over there. The slightest hint of a different accent than they're used to and they don't like it.
