Personally I think that if a US audience can't accept the original then you might as well forget it.How can we constantly take what is good on our screens and try and change it to fit other tastes and still have it work as well as the original?
I know there are lots of Americans who get the originals.There are fans in the US of such shows as Red Dwarf,Blackadder and Ab Fab in their original British humour.There is no need to alter anything to fit a perceived American mentality.
If we can accept American shows like Frasier then I'm sure they can accept ours.
