5 Best & 5 Worst US TV Remakes
4. Men Behaving Badly Few shows summed up the laddish culture of the 1990s more than Simon Nyes Men Behaving Badly. First appearing on ITV in 1992 with Martin Clunes and Harry Enfield, Men Behaving Badly struggled to make an impact on audiences, leading to Enfields quick departure from the show. Rather surprisingly, it was given a second chance through a shift to a post-watershed spot on the BBC, bringing with it Neil Morrissey's Tony, and a greater emphasis on crude and profane humour. With its new found success, Men Behaving Badly became one of the BBCs most successful sitcoms, meaning a US remake was quick to appear. Produced by NBC, the remake faithfully brought across the blokey humour of the BBC version to Indianapolis, but failed to make its counterparts to Gary and Tony anywhere near as likable. Instead, we are given Saturday Night Lives Rob Schnieder (derp de derp) as Jamie and Drop Dead Freds Ron Eldard as Kevin. Men Behaving Badly suffered from bad reviews and low ratings, and was cancelled mid-way through its second season.
