   I don't know what you mean here.  Some American versions of British TV shows    
   have been flip flops, but others ones really took off.  Just look at Being    
   Human, Too Close For Comfort, Three's Company, Not Necessarily the News, The    
   Office, Sanford and Son, American Idol and Queer and Folk.   
      
   I actually think it makes more sense to try launching an American version of    
   Doctor Who while it's still popular and running in Britain.  Not only will    
   help the ratings, but if it doesn't succeed we still have the original    
   British version to watch, and if it does we have twice as much Doctor Who!    
   It's win/win!

   Not a hope in hell of it working (just look at all the other British shows   
   they've tried to Americanise - Americans simply don't understand British   
   shows), but thankfully it won't even be trying to since it's fake news.
