They also make some awful rubbish. In the late 80s, they bought the outlines to an excellent British black comedy called Dear John. They completely missed the point. Likewise when they re-made Men Behaving Badly and One Foot in the Grave. They just don't understand how we can find filth and tragedy hilarious. It doesn't compute, and what comes out the other end can, from a British point of view, appear sanitized and dull.
By that measure, The American Office should have been a disaster as well, but the one episode I got round to watching was actually ok ...
