#234634 so besides the ever popular top gear which is wide spread of coarse and is somehow getting better.....

the thing im really up in arms about is the stupid copying thats going on elsewhere

two shows recently that are apparently new original ideas are the following

Skins-BBC america had this awhile ago and now america is up in arms over the american creation wtf how prude can we be to be up in arms about this its happening everyday lol sex and drugs with kids ohh well.....

And the other is something on scifi or syfi whatever the fuck it is its being human which is a big rip off of the bbc being human yet syfy claims on commercials its a new original series

i think we also copied robin hood but i dont know this is getting rediculous and just goes to show americans cant think for themselves anymore but yea anywho just my 2cents dont knwo if anyone else has caught onto this yet......

#234651 Part of show biz. If you can't think for your self let's steal someones original idea, put new faces and make it prettier and the general public will watch regardless.

#234667 you know its probably the same producers with different people. shows are popular enough to have it in a different area with similar people. only the original will still be the best.

#234668 everybody copies everyone. I bet Skins in UK is pretty much an old news so the creators came to US, where most people dont know about Skins. Making money is the key and I would prob do the same.

#234685 If the Honeymooners never aired we wouldn't have had the Flintstones, the simpsons, Dinosaurs (live action tv show with people in costumes), king of queens, and countless other tv shows and movies,

Avatar, was just a re-skinned Pocahontas that takes place in space

movies, tv, and books are all knock offs of something some where along the line.

an old coworker of mine said the same thing too, and though I do agree, I think that Fern Gully wouldn't have existed without Pocahontas
