The problem as I see it is that there cant help but be alot of similarities between the shows, unless they go way, way out of the box, and frankly, CBS isn't really known for that. The issue will truly be that they had dealings with the BBC and those fell through, so they decided to come up with their own series, based on the same premise they got from the BBC series. It reminds me of that old jokey bit where someone comes up with an idea, and then someone else (usually a bore/jerk) jumps up and says, "Hey, I got a great idea!" and details the same plan the first guy mentioned, just so they can take the credit.
