  • US Pilot Version of Only Fools and Horses called King of Van Nuys became available online recently.
    What are your thoughts?
    Clearly ABC rightly didn't think the pilot worked as it never got made as a series back in 2012
    In the hands of US network ABC, the pilot called King of Van Nuys was written by Scrubs writers Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley and followed the 'misadventures of two streetwise brothers and their ageing grandfather as they concoct outrageous, morally questionable get-rich-quick schemes

      American humor is totally different than the uk. Americans would not understand the jokes.

      My American friend from Carolina loves Ofah because i got her into it, she has the boxset and says it's better than Friends 😂 also agreed with me that the Uk Office is superior.

      ​@@jimwichelecki8275That's because they're idiots. I'm from Serbia and we all understand that humor. What's more, this is still the most popular series of all time, on which whole generations grew up and continue to grow up because the series is still repeated over and over again...

    Watching this, I thought this was a spoof of Only Fools from a sketch show. I had no idea this was a real US version. What a lot of crap this was.

    Most British sitcoms remade in America take the characters,situation and scripts and just change the slang and phrases to suit America ears .....this took the family dynamic and the wheeling dealing aspect and scrapped the rest ..which is further proof if it was ever needed how good John Sullivan was

      Same here. They don't give any TV show time to settle in America.

    • @SensiofRabbitude
      @SensiofRabbitude 9 месяцев назад

      I think letting a show go on too long, is often a bigger problem in American tv.
      I actually like BBT but 12 seasons? Too long. Walking Dead (which i tired of, about 5 seasons in) went almost the same length and both still have spin-offs airing today, despite the main show having been so long lasting. I mean I get it, money talks but both shows creatively could have done with ending a few seasons earlier(and no spin-offs)

    • @darylb889
      @darylb889 11 месяцев назад

      It's studio based laughter - so yes real people! Obv American humour is quite different compared to the UK. Not the best execution but quite a lot of older comissioned American sitcoms were like this.

    Leguizamo is a great actor and a funny guy but this didn't work.. I wouldn't say it was completely terrible like some people do i think the potential was there.

    The American version didn't have John Sullivan writing for them. Nuff said. OFAH was perfect for British comedy. American sitcoms have their own ways and methods, and it simply doesn't work for OFAH. Brilliant writer, awesome storylines and fantastic cast and crew. All the pieces of the jigsaw fit perfectly for the British version.

  • @RonMcKenzie-bw7iq
    @RonMcKenzie-bw7iq 11 месяцев назад

    John Sullivan must be vomiting and turning in his grave. The Americans don't get it do they? Fools and Horses is unique and British and can never be replicated. It was a one off from a true genius and the pairing of David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst was a marriage made in heaven. But every Fools character played leading roles and they all bounced off each other. Where on earth did Trigger come from in the mind of John Sullivan? Easy. There is always one in every pub in the country. The Americans should stick to the Frasiers, Friends etc, because they were brilliant comedies for sure. But show some respect to our British culture.

    The English only fools and horses is one of the greatest English comedies ever made here in England and the UK, and of all time really. With likeable characters. What's this rubbish?! Americans copy our classics far too much and there remakes are rubbish , they have copied George and mildred,only fools and horses, Peepshow, Inbetweeners and sooo much more. And there all junk. And Leguizamo Is an awful actor anyway
