Oh. Hell. No.
Torchwood fans, take a look at THIS:

Problems I have with this:
#1. Rusty is involved. The man is a HACK. He needs to be dropped from this right now. (Actually, the whole thing should be dropped, but it's the principal of the thing...)
#2. They're possibly... using the same cast? OK, that's... odd.
#3. THE FACT THAT IT IS HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. Nobody needs a "new" Torchwood especially for the American audience. AFAIK, lots of Americans watched the first Torchwood. Whose idea was this, anyway? (It was bad enough that they had to "remake" Life on Mars"...)
#4. FOX is making it. I have issues with FOX. They, more than any other network, have a pronounced tendency to mess around with and cancel shows that shouldn't be cancelled or messed with. Why Joss Whedon still makes shows with them, I do not know...
And, just to add insult to injury and rub salt in the wound, there's THIS:
Tranter might try to reboot “Doctor Who” for U.S. audiences while departing “Doctor Who” star David Tennant stars in NBC’s pilot “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.”
UM, WHAT THE HELL.
DOCTOR WHO DOES NOT NEED REBOOTING. AT ALL. GTFO MY SHOW, MAN.
I am now going to go listen to the Glee soundtrack to calm the rage.
