How often is this done?

I know Korea did The Good Wife and Entourage last year

But I heard they didn't too well.

 

[M.W.]

They didn't too well, too well at all.

 

[Slayven]

They didn't too well, too well at all.

Those two shows or foreign remakes in general?

Entourage was a weird choice, a show about a bunch of bros wilding out seemed at odds with how conservative the Korea entertainment industry likes to present itself.

 

[afroguy10]

I guess there's Law and Order UK. It's pretty good.

 

[Massive Nights]

The IT Crowd is a British remake of The Big Bang Theory, isn't it?

Sarcasm?

 

[Straight Edge]

Star Trek was remade in Japan as Sulu: Master of Navigation.

[Massive Nights]

Sarcasm?

Yeah, sorry! Real answer: wasn't there actually a Mexican remake of Breaking Bad?

 

[Zabka]

There's an Impractical Jokers UK that I hear is terrible.

The original is terrible so that doesn't surprise me.

Quite often depending on the country, Russia has:
Everybody loves Raymond

Married ... with Children:

I think Everybody loves Raymondhas a few other localisations as well

 

[nachum00]

Yeah they even have a British remake of The Office

 

[Bay Maximus]

There were many versions of Married with Children and some did well for themselves I believe.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Game shows are the obvious example, but one may even argue that they are different phenomenon altogether.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Married ... with Children:

Why does this look like a porn parody

 

[Slayven]

[Social]

Yeah they even have a British remake of The Office

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

 

[teh_pwn]

There's a Russian Malcolm in the Middle I think.

 

[Infernostew]

UK remake of Jersey Shore.... no joke.

 

[DrSlek]

Mostly reality shows here in Australia. I can't really think of any comedy or drama series we remake.

 

[PSqueak]

Yeah, sorry! Real answer: wasn't there actually a Mexican remake of Breaking Bad?

Yes, it's actually what i came to post, but now i don't have any material :C

 

[JonnyDBrit]

The UK got a remake... sequel... spinoff thing for an auction show called Storage Hunters because the American version did really well on Dave.

Istanbul here we come
Right back where we started from
Istanbu-uuulllll

 

[VeryGooster]

China and Mexico got their own versions of Gossip Girl

 

[elrechazado]

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.

14 episodes...

If you mean the one with Ricky Gervais, not only is that the original - started in 2001, the US version in 2005 - but it made it to... 12 episodes. Which admittedly is two seasons of 6, plus a couple of Christmas specials. It, both in terms of the series itself and the format for the show, is one of the bigger exports the BBC has had for the last two decades.

Happens a bit in Japanese and Korean shows. There's Korean CSI, Korean Criminal Minds(which has Korean versions of the us cast), Japanese remake of Cold Case etc


What's funny is the new CBS show The Good Doctor is a remake of a Korean show

 

[F0rneus]

Korea did Criminal Minds too.

 

[DrForester]

 

[WaterAstro]

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.

 

[Fury451]

Yeah, sorry! Real answer: wasn't there actually a Mexican remake of Breaking Bad?

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

 

[Stinkles]

I think Everybody loves Raymondhas a few other localisations as well

Such a fascinating premise! Browbeaten husband! Shrill wife! Mean in laws! No way you could replicate that without a license!

 

[Cjdamon042]

The UK had a remake of That 70s Show called Days Like These. Only 13 episodes and only 10 of them aired. Never seen it myself mind you.

 

[Massive Nights]

Showing my age here, there was an English remake of Who's The Boss called The Upper Hand.

 

[shadowkat]

I don't know how well The Good Wife did ratings wise, but I thought the show itself was pretty good. There's also a Korean version of Criminal Minds that's okay. It's still airing right now.

 

[GDGF]

Haha no way!

Forester sporting a Hitler stache?

 

[forgeforsaken]

There was a Russian It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (Moscow)

Why can't we get good shit like the show about the Vampire Doctor?

 

[Venture]

Why am I just now learning about this?! Amazing.

 

[Angelus Errare]

There's a Korean Entourage? lmao, someone please have a clip of Korean Ari

 

[SargerusBR]

[viciouskillersquirrel]

There's a Turkish version of the Nanny and a Russian version of How I Met Your Mother.

He looks like an Indian version of Karl Urban...or Karl Urban is the white Anil Kapoor.
