I’ll go first…The Office.

Now I know the two shows are fundamentally quite different, but they adapted what was already a very successful show, and turned It into an event more successfully one that lasted for significantly longer than the original did. I say that’s a win for them.

Anything else? Life on Mars, Being Human, The Inbetweeners…?

    Cosby predates One Foot in the Grave - I remember watching Cosby as a kid in the 80s, and OFitG didn’t show up until the 90s. OFitG became (I think) Curb Your Enthusiam.

        Huh - I assumed they were the same thing.
        I wonder if it never aired in the UK…
