Ugh, so sad!! The US Kath and Kim was a big enough flop, I can't believe they're trying it again!

It's ridiculous that tv execs don't take into account a countries culture when making these decisions, and seriously, will American's just not watch shows made in different countries??]]> Thu, 27 May 2010 21:33:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33564&PID=1044764&title=its-a-travesty#1044764 <![CDATA[It’s a Travesty! : Didi&#039;s links below.

Really interesting to see what they have done with the scripts, the family don't seem anywhere near trashy enough.
The scripts where sold to the US and the UK the UK's version is called honest found some youtube clips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaU82lIE1JI

Oh dear, pretty lame. It's such a kiwi show, I don't think they could have made US audiences understand it without bastardising it completely .

It looks completely ridiculous - I agree, too polished and the twins? C'mon, make the 'Van' character look believable instead of Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire.

And you can guarantee that the language won't be as bad as OF. It's just.......

This is true, nice work NZ

I don't see it as a rip off in that sense either. More in the artistic, how could they think they'll do it justice type of sense. And yip, the US katn and Kim was awful too!


In saying that, The Office is cool

BTW I don't see it as a rip-off in a monetary sense.. but I think of all the other overseas shows they have tried to imitate for the US audience and ruined.. Kath and Kim is another recent one..

She is a sh*t actor. It's too polished! They're not rough enough, they have them far too middleclass for my liking! I wonder if they'll do the same storylines. The first episode looks identical (except they are sh*t actors) don't like the names of the kids either.
