Thought the Inbetweeners Series Finale was outstanding. Some great lines. Getting a bit sick of Will though, he's becoming a bit of a caricature I think.

I thought the last one was a bit disappointing, depressing even. Still an awesome show overall.

(Will's mum, incidentally....)

Rightly so but if I could only ever watch 1 of them again it would Rab c. Shameless started off well, but I've lost interest in it nowadays.

It was not. A loud, moralistic and pushy section of America didn't take kindly to the subject matter and threatened to sue for the depictions of teenagers doing sex (claiming it was child pornography). Loads of advertisers pulled out as a result so MTV pulled the plug on it after the first series.

Shameless US gets very poor ratings too. I dunno why they keep remaking British comedies. Wasn't there word of a US Spaced at one point?

I suppose they're just hoping that among the slew of duds there'll be another US Office which is absolute gold.

Thinking about it - I reckon US Inbetweeners might be good. Like a TV show version of Superbad or American Pie like someone else mentioned. The US conversions of British shows only really seem to be dying on their arse completely when they are meant to be "edgy" and "serious". Skins and Shameless are both pretty gritty and working class and I think that's the element of it that isn't going over in the US. If they get to just do brainless cringe comedy there's no reason for the Inbetweeners not to be as good as the original (depending on the writers, obviously).

EDIT: Also - I wonder if they'll try to invent a new catchphrase word for pussy, or will they try to bring Clunge across the Atlantic?

I've watched the first couple of episodes, sort of a mash-up of the first few episodes of the UK version, pretty standard, some funny bits, but still laugh harder at the UK repeats then I have at the US version.

The main thing that's really bugging me is the Jay character, he's just not as funny, plus the fact the guy playing him is the kind of guy that Jay would take the piss out off doesn't help. Also there were a few bleeps on puchlines which means the joke it ruined.
