Whose Line and The Office are good examples. I can't really think of any others. I guess the American version of Distraction was pretty good.

I was gonna say Sherlock but the American version is a dumpster fire and the show isn't even the same outside of having Sherlock Holmes.

The British version of Whose Line didn't get good until Colin and Ryan were there, so keeping them in the American version was the key element. Tony was about the only good one from the British version that didn't come over.

Another fellow connoisseur. Also one of the greatest instrumental theme songs.

They didn't do an American Sherlock that I'm aware of. The only thing US did was Elementary, which was in no way based on the show Sherlock. They just both had the same base material, which is Arthur Conan Doyle's characters.

Not much different. You would have to modern it up though. You would have to change her sister and BIL background. Rose you wouldn't have to change. Neither her neighbors

Just checked on the status of the original cast just Hyacinth and Daisy are alive.

Clive Swift the husband passesd away in 2019. I always liked him. He was in that horrible Doctor Who episode with the liner in space.

I would agree, but then again I tend to not like either version of most shows they bring over from the UK and Americanize.

Whose Line? Is the rare exception since it is essentially the exact same show with many of the same people carrying over.

I was going to suggest Wilfred, but I see that was from an Australian show.

Elementary is far superior to what Sherlock became after the first few episodes.

It has great leads, some imaginative puzzles, and never takes itself too seriously. Sherlock vanished up its own arse with the 'and it was all in the mind palace' bullshit.

Veep is a US version of The Thick of It, from the same writers/producers. Both shows are top tier TV.

I agree with this. I think Elementary handled Sherlock's fight with his addiction very well. Just saw the episode with the girl addict and her friend leading Sherlock around. That ending :(
