Though it hasn't actually been screened yet, despite being made three years ago, the pilot was basically a word-for-word copy of the original series. Richard Ayoade even still holds the role of Moss. Why is this necessary? Somebody tell me.
Run: One pilot, unaired.

Skins (US) (2011)
This is absolutely dire. The first episode closely copies the UK show, but it doesn't translate well. The kids also can't fucking act for shit.
Run: Currently airing.

Episodes (2011)
A new series dealing with the woes a couple go through when their television show is picked up for an American remake. For a start, the studio wants to replace the eloquent headmaster (left), with a formerly popular American star (right).
tartan_skirt's rating:
For some reason America loves our comedies, but then decide they can do it better. The results are usually sub-par copies that the studio tries to make into something sexy and glamorous, in which the humour doesn't transfer properly and we are left to wonder WHY?!
It's probably a good thing that most of them are cancelled at the pilot or couple of episode stages.
