Oh, my.
There haven't been very many Britcoms adapted for American audiences that have done all that well. The Office has done pretty well with itself, sure, but I've heard horror stories about Red Dwarf and Coupling. Both were amazing shows in their own right, but they didn't last beyond a handful of episodes when they were re-cast and American-ized.
I second dignan's statement. Just give us the original series on DVD, pretty please.
