Neither can i... they have ruined many Brit stuff by trying to take it across the pond... The humour is different the culture is different.. I dont think iOnly Fools And Horses would work.. Cant see Trigger as a redneck or Boycie as Sam the used car salesman.. The Shameless USA was trying to be a clone and failed in my eyes becauise it wasnt Manchester or the idiosyncrasies that lie therein ... The magic of Only Fools lies in the situation of the comedy and their surroundings same with Shameless etc... will not and cannot work in another loaction.. albeit they will try:)

I will stick with the original thanks. I have never seen our version of the Office, but I am sure that no matter how good it is, it can't touch the original. I think this remake has even less of a chance....
