i’ve been a fan of british comedy since watching ‘are you being served’ on pbs when i first came to the states in ’90. i laughed out loud at this one. and though i don’t watch skins, i had the exact same thought!! 🙂 –kris
I really don’t think that they would get ‘Black Books’ (or Blackadder for that matter) At least not with an American cast. And what about those film remakes? (Girl with The Dragon Tattoo, Nikita, etc.! ) Don’t get me started…Imitation as flattery? Not sure. More like imitation for profit, as suggested. Regards to all, Pete, England. (naturally)
I can’t fathom Skins being Americanized. It’s tragic!

I’ve thought the same thing before, too.
At least they never touched Black Books or Spaced… Then I would go into full Unabomber mode
Ugh. American Skins…
