My wife and I have watched since the pilot episode and really like it. Gotta love those muttonchop sideburns, and the circa 1973 tunes are pretty groovy, too!

I like Harvey Keitel as an actor, but he's not Gene Hunt. There's only one Gene Hunt, and he's from Manchester, and played by Philip Glenister.

We always get the original US versions - Friends, The Simpsons, Prison Break, 24, Smallville, all of that stuff. America got a remake of 'The Office', Life on Mars, there are rumours of a US remake of The IT Crowd... do you get any English TV over there?

Not that I'm not a fan of British TV, I loved The Young Ones, but I just don't set too much time aside for TV other than a couple of shows - currently Entourage and Life On Mars. Oh yeah, and all day Saturdays in the fall for college football.
I think we remake so many shows because the majority of Americans want something American - and unfortunately, American network TV is all about Nielsen ratings and selling ad time. This goes back decades, when Steptoe and Son was adapted in the US as Sanford and Son.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Rockville, MD | | | I like the show and I am going to miss it. But I also get tired of shows staying on too long like Lost and 24. Shows need a beginning, middle, and end too. I hope they do offer closure on the concept.
I don't know who this Gene Hunt guy is, but Harvey Keitel has been excellent in his role. |
