The US version sucked but Lisa Lampenelli sure didn't help, talk about insufferable

I really want to watch the British version but I'm LOVING the US version so far.

4:19 The UK certainly has more documented history, but in my opinion the show doesn't tap into it. Robin is a caveman and the second oldest ghost is a Tudor nobleman, which is a huge gap. No one from the Celtic or Roman or Medieval periods. Yes, there are the Black Death victims, but they are side characters.

..... how does one "ruin" a show people enjoy just by existing in another country? both are highly enjoyable and I'm sure the next country to do it will be fun to watch too.

Removing libby mrs quick and mr Kraft killed Sabrina i like the later seasons but these characters made it better 😅

With season 4 just starting I'd say the US version has gotten much better

I'd argue that Pete from the British version is much more of a tired teacher stereotype then happy go lucky type. Hes much more mean spirited and quicker to anger then amarican Pete

The audio is atrocious

I wish she went to school in the other realm or moved completely to the other realm the last seasons were so borrrring…they should’ve made it more about magic as she grew but it got so dull…it was so disappointing that she did all that work to master her magic only to end up as a reporter like what?

I erased from memory college and magazine seasons. Had no recollection until u shoed some clips

Threes a Crowd gets my vote for worst sitcom.

ALF was awesome, you are a moron.

After watching both, I admit I prefer the US version. A lot of things done in UK versions would not work in the US. Remember Pam getting ‘fired’ in season one of the Office. In UK Ghosts, Julian intentionally pushes Allison out the window, for the hitting the head scene and never apologizes. US Ghosts, Trevor was just trying to learn more about his ghost power when he pushed a vase onto the floor and Sam didn’t see the vase and slips on it and falls down the stairs. Trevor’s immediately regretful about his part in her potential death.

I liked ALF.It was very funny.

Knowing what we know now I'd say it's better than Cosby, oi.

This was excellent! Sabrina is my all-time favourite show, I listen to it every night as I fall asleep… I am a 35yo man. It’s nostalgic and comforting. I couldn’t agree more with all your critiques, if only they had you on the writing team! It still holds a special place in my heart, always will, but I wish it didn’t fizzle out like it did.

US fecked it completely

No the American version did not screw up the British version!! They even brought some of the uk actors over to america to help consult on the show to make sure that the characters from uk version were done properly on the usa version!!

The people who didn't watch to the end missed the point of the video. Its not actually the worst, but just didn't come across as planned. This video put a new perspective on ALF for me and i appreciate that.

I have a complicated relationship with this show. I think that Jenna Ortega, Luiz Guzman, and Fred Armisan perform really fresh versions of Wednesday, Gomez, and Fester respectively. I really enjoyed seeing these actors bring these characters to life. I like seeing how Wednesday reacts to the coming if age events, such as odd couple roommates and dealing with other kids. I also seem to be in the minority in thinking that Wednesday's relationship strain makes sense, due to her being at the "I'm always right" teenager age. To me, her rebeling is inevitable, since she IS Morticia's daughter. I absolutely adored Thing and every scene he was in was awesome. On the other hand, I hate the Tim Burton monster, the pilgrim resurrection, and the series' insistance on going outlandish with the monsters. I disagree a little bit with some of your analysis about the Addams' self awareness. I respect your interpretation, but I think them being self aware makes the satire that they were created for pop even more. However, adding a bunch of monsters ruins this: the Addams are, despite their quirks, intended to be grounded in reality. That's what makes them different from, say, the Munsters. What makes them an effective foil to the Leave it to Beaver crowd is that they, themselves, are normal people with a different perspective and outlook. The biggest problem with this show is that it deviates from THAT formula. Really awesone video, i really enjoyed it!

Yeah, it was the format changing and the US talent having none of the British bulldoggery. Apart from it being a worse show, it was also full of Americans.

Without even watching this video, I can tell you it's because she went to college

Bad take, but I loved when you pointed out how much the sun has affected Alex in the show. He really should’ve worn sunblock.

3:15 wait, is that where the show Arthur got the word "gleep" from?

I’ve watched several seasons of TMNZ, as I’m now almost through “series” 5 of the original UK production. I have always been able to tell, as an American, that the show would never survive being Americanized. It’s only fun because the contestants care enough about competing to really play along, even though the stakes are profoundly low. We have a terrible habit of taking everything too seriously, or not being interested unless the stakes are incredibly high. Most US game shows require huge cash prizes in order for people to care. TM is about taking the piss and doing your best.

im reading justice league from the late 80s and am really surprised that even then, they had the same mentality of nowadays making fun of things everyone does even more now

11:15 oh wow I didn’t even notice, but yess

im surprised they havent made a gritty reboot of this show yet feel like all the elements of it are there just needs to change the genre

It's pretty bad when you have to explain what nostalgia is to today's youth like they are toddlers😅

I think you smelled a problem rightly when pointing out that Sabrina herself is kind of a bland character by design. It was the situations with here and bouncing off Hilda, Zelda and Salem that made the show great. The chemistry with the three of them was amazing.

The comedy just doesn't translate to American tastes.

Sorry bro. Your wrong. Lol

Your analysis is used through today’s lens. In the 80’s this show was way different from anything else. The premise is what backed the writers into a corner. However it was a pleasure watching Paul fusco and the character he created. Max Wright was incredible on the show. It’s a shame he hated working on it. If I used today’s lens I could really pick apart a lot of shows over the years. Does not mean they where not great

I am late to the discussion, but Melissa Joan Hart’s own mother was the producer of this sitcom ( do whatever you wish with that information). In my opinion, the “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” sitcom started interesting and fun. However, it got worse and lazier at in later seasons.

i think "small wonder" was abominable.

You were most likely born in the 2000s so you don’t know anything about the 80s and I can tell you I’d rather watch ALF than whatever fucking fanboy puppet was put on this bullshit

I was 7 when it first came out, I had watch from the first season to the final season. It's true that the earlier seasons were better, but I watched it to the very end to see Sabrina's journey in life including her family & friends😊💖. I love the ending to show💖🥰💖, the only thing I wish for is that the witchs counsel got rid of the horrible rule of separating half children from their human parents, so Sabrina & her mom could be in each other's lives😢😨. To be honest, they could have a reboot of them both being able to uniting, know I'm sad angry that they didn't make this reboot instead, WWWHHHYYYY😭😭😭😭!!!!

I truly enjoyed the show. I love salem and aunt Hilda. I loved the imagination in the show. I'm talking about the closet to the other realm, just to mention one detail that fascinated me. Also the talking paintings. The final episode when Harvey and sabrina end up together was very warm.

US Ghosts is like an unfunny parody of Ghosts. Fart Powers. That's all I have to say. Fart Powers. Im sure it would have been funny when I was 5. But corny jokes and forced conflict are staples of the bubblegum American sitcom. Elite American comedies, like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia or Seinfeld have more in common with Ghosts than they do with Ghosts US. This isn't about British or American. Its about good writing vs. lazy corporate formulaic writing.

I do not agree. There are multiple reasons I assumed this didn't work and one of them (for me) is the impatience of a US audience. I don't mean to attack all Americans, it's just my impression that on average there is very little time in US media. Taskmaster needs at least a bit of patience (understanding without immediately dismissing). I am not from the UK or an English speaking country and I think most people worldwide have more patience and do give interesting looking stuff a bit more credit - then you learn to love it. I also think complicated tasks are part of the fun and some contestants really wanting to win as well. Jo Brand was funny af but if there was no Ed Gamble nearly killing himself to win - it wouldn't work.

How to say you're Gen Z with out saying you're Gen Z

Alf still makes me laugh most of the jokes have held up

ALF ruled. Project ALF ruled too. You're a nerdy dork who plays with puppets.

I thought Harvey eventually found out about her being a witch? Am I remembering that wrong?

Commenting to remind you all of the comments are basically saying you are like the US taskmaster, you just don’t get it

ALF sucked hot nuts. ALF is what drove Max Wright to use crack. It was so bad, Wright tried to sell Barry Williams'ass for crack. BTW, anyone who refers to themselves as a "Meister" is an asshole. ALF gpt all of ita seasons on DVD before we even got one of The State.

I remember the first run; I was about 7 then. It was hyped a lot at first, but dropped in ratings, and you could tell they hated making it! It could only exist in the ‘80s…

3 minutes in and this child is just whining. What a shit channel.

The american "version" is absolute shite. Avoid at all costs no point even watchin that garbage watch the original instead its absolute genius.

There's a movie titled Permanent Midnight in which Ben Stiller plays a drugged out, desperate writer hired to write on the show Alf. Stranger yet: The movie is a true story written by Jerry Stahl, who was that drug addict writer of Alf.
