Yes I do watch the same great shows everyone does....as opposed to that supposed list of "great" shows most people haven't heard of outside of their respective regions.

Why do U.S remake CLASSIC English TV shows?

I've never heard of any of those shows, either version. Step your TV game up.

Sounds like you are the one that needs to step his 'TV game' up.

Brehs, you need to set your emotions and misplaced regional loyalty aside and answer my question.
Do you have an equivalent to "The Wire"? It's a simple question. I'm betting you don't, because it's widely seen as the GOAT TV show.
And if the answer is "no", and I watch "The Wire", then why would I check for your shows? It's not rocket science. Why check for shows that are inferior to the ones I currently watch?

The Jewnited States
Superstar
but all those shows u listed are garbage except for TOP GEAR which one of the GOATS
Finally a voice of reason. If any of those shows are on the same level as "The Wire", "Breaking Bad", "The Sopranos", etc. I will check them out.
So far people keep dodging the question.

The reason 'Lost' is a global phenomenon is overwhelmingly because of America's cultural influence...quality is a distant secondary concern.
You're right, its not as if American execs are watching British TV and just remaking whatever is successful...
Old 'I only watch American shyt, aren't I so brilliant?' ass motherfukker. No, no you are not, you are simply depriving yourself of good TV due to ignorance and parochialism.

Every post you've made in this thread is, "I watch popular mainstream American shows, you watch popular British shows, but because my shows are more well-known, they're automatically better and my taste in TV is better."
Think about how stupid that sounds.

...how the fukk can you say one set of programmes that you have never even fukking watched are not 'on the same level' of other programmes that you have watched...?Your argument really is on a special level of retardation.
Exactly. No intelligent human being could think such a argument worth while or rational.

You can keep the "good TV". A lot of shows are good. And success has nothing to do with it. They remade "The Inbetweeners" and that shyt barely averages 1 million viewers.
And
at all that pro-American shyt you said about me. I'm one of the most well versed cats on this forum when it comes to foreign cinema. You know why? Because there is a lot of other areas like France, Japan, Korea, etc. that can go toe-to-toe with us.For the last time, are any of your shows better than the shows I currently watch? If the answer is "no", then why the fukk would I watch them?
