Do not screw this up, America!

Admittedly, you did a great job with The Office, but this is a whole other kettle of fish. Don't you dare trample all over the genius that is Peep Show.

Sure, we did great with The Office, but we failed you horribly on Coupling. *sigh*

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

You are right about The Office, but I still think this is a very, very bad idea.

I said the same about The Thick of It, but when I saw it was being done by the team behind Arrested Development, I felt more relaxed. This... we shall see. I always dreamed of having Ed Helms play Jez, but he's a bit too handsome. That is my greatest worry, that the American makers will miss the whole deeply unpleasant aspect of Peep Show.

Ed Helms would be hilarious, but I fear you are right and it just won't have the right tone. Spike TV is the 'man channel' and the fact that it's being developed there is not exactly a good sign.

Oh dear. I know the Peep Show characters do ludicrously male things, but always in a pathetic way. I am curious to see an American version of SuperHans, though. :D
