Death to the Remake

Going slightly sideways into television I have to air my distress at yet another horrific idea for a remake. Not only is it bad enough that English comedy Absolutely Fabulous is going to be remade in America (when half the humor is overly posh drunkenness.) but now they're getting their grubby mitts on Peep Show. Peep Show is truly unique and comedic genius. Every episode is quotable from start to finish. Like the English version of The Office (don't even get me started on that blood bath of a remake) it is carefully crafted with quality as the most important aspect. Rather than create a 23 episode series with a few jokes in each, only 6 episodes are required in each series but with every single moment, a moment of comedic perfection. I dread to imagine what will happen to this show once it gets torn apart. I imagine it will be a lot like a car crash...but one that you can help but look at.
