So America goes to the British well again, and I don't have much hope.
The original is absolutely brilliant-- one of my favorite comedies of the past few years-- and it looks like the MTV version is trying to follow many of the same episode storylines. But there are so many ways they can screw this up.
But since BBC America has been skimping on re-airing the original, this is your best way to check out the concept (unless the U.K. version is on Amazon or Netflix or iTunes or online or something).

I'm going to go into serious withdrawal after this week. One of the the best seasons of any comedy I've ever seen. If you can catch the repeats or OnDemand or some other way, check out this show.
