Why do American's feel the need to remake British shows?!


Question: Why do American's feel the need to remake British shows!?
We speak the same language so i really don't see the need to remake them!. I find it annoying because apart from the Office i don't think they've made a success of a single British show!. We've had Spaced, Life on Mars, Red Dwarf and now news of Gavin and Stacey being re-made!. Why!?

Am i missing something!? American tv shows have success this side of the atlantic and we understand the humour perfectly well!. So why the need to try make an American version of every successful British show!? I just don't see the point!Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I would imagine that selling the format makes more money than selling the shows themselves!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

you forgot that they remade fawlty towers and made a real hash of it, you cant have fawlty towers without john cleese, we do speak the same language but maybe they have difficulty understanding our accents or maybe they just see a great british show and think that they could do it betterWww@Enter-QA@Com

because they don't have the imagination to come up with something as good and original! so they just copy others, but since americans like to have everything "americanized," they have to do the remakesWww@Enter-QA@Com

MONEY they take successful things already made makie it american so they can make money off it while ripping someons hard work off

because they have to gayify everything
and because they hate the fact that british humour is funnyier than american humour!.
lol xWww@Enter-QA@Com

because they dont understand alot of our humour, shows like ab fab and men behaving badly failed terribly over there so i thnk they thought better to make there own versions of the same shows, ie the officeWww@Enter-QA@Com

because th originals are bad and america makes them good
Edit-to improve and make them better i'm not saying the plot was bad but how they did the show wasWww@Enter-QA@Com

because americans are insecure and feel the need to air things that are already successful and then take credit 4 it, as people think it is a new ideaWww@Enter-QA@Com

Because they want to be the best and try to be the best!. They always want to compete with other countries!. And they always think they can do better!. Just look at the Italian Job remake!.!.!. FAIL!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
