They have tried that before (re-making British TV shows to suit an American audience) usually with horrible results , the latest one I can think of is 'the office' even thou the US version is quite popular it is no-where as good as the Brit version , Americans can't do or understand sarcasm or ironic type humour , it goes completly over their heads .
We still have this 'puritan' thing in US telvision , like the uproar with the Janet Jackson thing a few years ago when she bared her breast , its ok to have 20 different cop/crime shows showing violence and dead bodies just so long as the good guys win in the last five minutes , but showing a nipple or a bare bum is a complete no no .
