Scarlet Flaks Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm pretty sure America did this first in the 90s, I remember there were at least four different shows of the same concept on various networks.Also, this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_combat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmon Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 There was a time when robot fighting was huge in US yeah,I always preferred "Junk Yard Wars" where they sent 2 teams, both assigned 1 expert engineer on the subject of that challenge, into a junk yard to make shit like hovercraft races, cars, cannons, RC submarines, airplanes, ect.

George Reisman Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Junk Yard Wars was bad-ass.But the best show on British TV is Top Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arokh Takakura Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah Junkyard wars existed in the UK in the form of 'Scrapheap Challenge' p.much exactly the same show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arokh Takakura Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 The I.T. Crowd.Same format. Badly executed.NEED I GO OOOOOOOOOOON? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 You're trying to compare the IT Crowd to The Big Bang Theory? That doesn't even make any sense. The office was nice but If you want to list other horrific abortions of TV shows that crossed the atlantic, there are plenty other bad examples to list in north america's favor.

Scarlet Flaks Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 American version of The Office is better, only redeeming part of the UK version is Ricky Gervais. IT Crowd and Big Bang Theory aren't that similar at all. I've never even heard of the second two.ENJOY YOUR KNOCKOFF ROBOCOMBAT SHOWS.

Deadmon Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I liked the american office better, but yes it was originally UK. Big Bang theory is also way better than IT Crowd, and not exactly the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrescentSnow Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I like the Red Dwarf UK version better. UK came out with Dr. Who and Torchwood. :) Those are good shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bleac Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Finland did it first.This is authentic footage of our fantastic battlebot, the "Karelian Fist" working against Stalin during the Winter and continuation Wars.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yKYcCi3_Hw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemAdams Wobbit Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 And the US did try to continue Doctor Who (1996 movie anyone?) which failed to revivie the series, resulting in the shortest tenure as The Doctor on screen (1 episode, feature-length (which in the US is about 90 minutes)).Although, they are Americanizing Torchwood (Torchwood: Miracle Day was done jointly with BBC and Starz).Another good show is Sherlock (created by Stephen Moffet and Mark Gatiss), and that's another joint BBC venture (with Masterpiece).
