@matts Not to mention Shameless - where opposed to this I couldn't stand the original (I just didn't like the actors)
@player8472 That is true Shameless is another one that had a hit American version. I wasn't fond of the UK version at all.
@matts I've watched both and enjoy each of them in their own quirky way.
@matts I watched both. I really think the UK version hung together much better and seemed "fresher?" The American version just didn't have as much zing to it. Sorry for being vague. It's like talking about the "it" factor. I just don't think the American version has "it"
@defuria I can agree that the American version doesn't do a good job at making them feel like ghosts. Maybe its too bright? I still enjoy watching after 35 episodes but yeah its not really the same as the original. I wouldn't call the original fresher though. They are written for completely different audiences after all.

I just don't agree with all these comments about just watching the UK version. The Americanized Office worked, why can't this one? That is all you hear, "don't they ever have any ideas of their own?" There are countless attempts at original shows every year and no one watches them either. Starting a show with a built-in audience just make sense sometimes.
And after just seeing the hour premiere, I do enjoy it just as much as the original. They did change some of the characters and im all for the differences.
