10 US Adaptations Of UK TV Shows That Sucked
8. Men Behaving Badly
Despite average results during its original airing, Men Behaving Badly became one of Britian's most cherished comedies once BBC took the show under its wing. The show quickly turned Martin Clunes and Neil Morrisey into household names, with them both going on to have incredible and varied acting careers when the show came to an end.
Men Behaving Badly was the tale of two men with little in common sharing an apartment and all the awkward situations they get into. It was packed full of charm and witty humour while we settled in to watch these ridiculous men try and keep their relationships in check while drinking as much beer as they can.
So, what happens when you take the charm out, replace it with "bros" and hire Rob Schneider?
An absolute train wreck,
of course. Yet, somehow the train wreck managed to score a second
season. Poor critical reviews hampered the show, with most finding its
style of humour inappropriate for the time slot. Season two didn't fare
any better either. Even with the pull of Schneider and the addition of
Ken Marino, the show was pulled off the air after six episodes.
