I'm afraid of Americans

Trailer for ABC's Life on Mars remake

...

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

There goes my strategy of remaining cautiously optimistic! Reality: 1, Optimism: 0

Also, I think it's worth noting that I finally hit my limit with American Voice Over Guy. I miss the calm, soothing voices of the BBC. I can be ex-pat now?

Picture it:

Some Guy in a Pub, 5 Years From Now: So what finally drove you away? Was it political?
Me: Nope. They remade Life on Mars.

i knew it was going to be terrible when i saw they didn't even change the characters' names. part of what made queer as folk and the office successful as american shows was their willingness to, you know, actually make them american.

i'm not sure i can even watch that trailer.

No, but they did change the year!

Seriously, what is up with that? Of all the random things to change.
