But the overall tone is so much different - I didn't bother to see any more than a few episodes. For instance, the running gag about Al's avoiding sex with the wife as much as possible is skipped altogether. I don't even want to elaborate - the show's a bad remake imho. Kinda dull.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, with The Nanny situation seems to be exactly reversed. I've never heard anything particularly good about the original (albeit I've never seen an episode, so I'm not judging), the remake is quite good (not good good, but a cheap laugh good:) and very popular. <BR/><BR/>Here's some ratings for comparison (not sure about the date):<BR/>Lost 13.2<BR/>Моя прекрасная няня (The Nanny remake) 7.0<BR/>Счастливы вместе (MwC remake) 2.0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-3252090007712122102007-09-10T21:31:00.000-04:002007-09-10T21:31:00.000-04:00Right, I was going to say that I'd write to FOX if...Right, I was going to say that I'd write to FOX if I were willing to admit they exist.

That network was bought out by Rupert Murdoch, the right-wing scumbag who turned Fox News into the neocon vomitfest is is today - the network that very well may have set Firefly up to fail because of its distinctly subversive politics. That network continues to air The Simpsons because it depends on that show for a huge chunk of revenue. These days, though, Fox is a gutless right-wing shitshop dedicated to maintaining, not upending, The Good 'Ol American Way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
