It's horrible though, the first season is like a carbon copy of the US one, only not funny at all!

Probably why it only lasted two seasons!

I think every country had to remake "Married... with Children" by law.

I want to say Colombian version of Desperate Housewives?

Photoshopes Desperadas

I saw the British remake of The Office. It wasn't very good, and apparently had to be canceled after 8 episodes, unlike the American series which had some legs.

Lol tell me this is sarcasm

 

[ldcommando]

A bunch of Latin America countries had desperate housewives versions. Brazil had one as well. Got cancelled really fast.

The Japanese Cold Case will have a second season coming in 2018

 

[SlipperyFishes]

For real tho isn't the British version of The Office a hugely influential thing?

Was that mock-doc style really a thing before it?

Also I kind of want to see foreign adaptations of 'The Thick of It' now.

That’s just Veep.

 

[Killthee]

It was on Netflix for a while, yeah. I was going to watch a few episodes just out of curiosity, never did

It was Colombian and it was sooooo bad. I saw the first episode when it aired and was baffled by how much of It was just a direct copy on a shoestring budget. Really made me appreciate BB’s acting, music, and especially its cinematography.

Isn't who's the boss a remake of this?

Nah Who's The Boss? predated it by about 6 years or so looking at Wikipedia.

I loved The Upper Hand as a kid, watched the lot with my family as it aired, really enjoyed it at the time (not sure how it holds up)

I remember Japan tried to do "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", and it tanked because Japanese people didn't care about poor people becoming rich; they cared about rich, celebrities doing stupid shit for a chance to win a vacuum or something cheap.

Like many game and entertainment shows, "Who wants to be a Millionaire" is not a US IP, though.

From what I've seen of the Japanese version of Cold Case, it's pretty good and has great production.

I also enjoyed the Japanese anime adaptation of Supernatural.

There's a Korean show called "Missing 9" that is greatly inspired by LOST.

 

[Slayven]

Just found out Japan is doing their own Good Wife and Korea is remaking Suits.

 

[Beartruck]

In the other direction, I just found out The good doctor is an adaptation of a 2013 south korean drama.

 

[HMD]

A Kuwaiti South Park, I remember finding it funny as a kid but it's probably 1000x tamer than the original show.

 

[Lemonte]

Finnish The Office!

Spoiler

I know it's originally form UK

[The Albatross]

My Coworkers let me know about Indian Everybody Loves Raymond which I guess was a big failure. And I love how the brother in the Indian version looks a lot like the brother from the American version

There's like Indian versions of almost every hit American TV show

There was an awful spanish version of Cheers in 2011 that lasted 3 episode on air.
They even messed up the wonderful intro of the original https://youtu.be/rLzPTeq36uI
