Just in case you were wondering what the worst possible thread title you could read on this forum is

“The Big Bang Theory” stars Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik are re-teaming for a multi-cam comedy at Fox, Variety has learned.

In a highly competitive situation, Fox has given a series commitment to “Carla,” a new series that Bialik and Parsons will executive produce with Bialik also attached to star. The series is based on the BBC original “Miranda” created by Miranda Hart. Bialik will star as the titular Carla, a 39-year-old woman who struggles every day against society and her mother to prove that you cannot have everything you want and still be happy. That is why she spent the money her parents set aside for her wedding to open a Cat Café in Louisville, KY.

The show is currently expected to launch in fall 2020.

Agreed, I'm a bigger fan of The Office US than the original version tbqfh. That said, the first season is the weakest, and that's the season that was a near scene for scene remake... It was a better show once it went it's own way.

Though the only evidence anyone needs that remakes are generally a bad idea, is The Inbetweeners US. just... Horrible...

You said the "world's" best comedy. So I assume you watch more than English and North American comedy?

We haven’t been able to make comedy series for about 3 decades aside from maybe The Office or Plebs ...

The US have been turning out fabulous comedy series since we stopped ..

Miranda is the least funny thing I have ever seen ever.

There’s no way it could be made any worse, so I don’t see why not.

I forgot to add that I fully agree that Miranda is absolutely dire. Awful.

I don't really see the point in remaking it? Like, whether or not you like it, it's a very a specific thing - Miranda's "real life", and she talks to the camera. The appeal is Miranda herself, not the character she's playing. So why remake it? Why not make a similar show, but without connecting it to Miranda?

I've not seen Bialik in anything else or in interviews, but she seems too wooden for a Miranda role, Miranda is very expressive... but then Sheldon's wife is meant to be a block of wood, so

Erm... it's not connected to Miranda. It's simply based on it, the premise.

No that's what I mean, it's both incredibly specific and a generic premise - even though they contradict each other

What I mean is, they could make a similar show and people probably wouldn't even connect it to Miranda. So why say it's an American version?

Because I imagine it's going to have enough similarities that Miranda Hart will be credited (and no doubt paid) the same as Ricky Gervais was with the Office, but it will forge its own path.
