from the article:
Of this year's crop, Good Morning, Miami, a comedy from the creators of Will & Grace, and Fastlane, a pacy drama about two undercover LA cops, are attracting most interest from UK buyers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder if you guys will take the US Coupling, should it ever take off.

Is Israel it's practically obligatory, since buying a show by an Israeli channel is conditioned by buying some other shows of the same production company, most of them those that are not-so-wanted. Of course, their version of 'not so wanted' may not be the same (I initially typed 'sane') as everybody's - this is how we got to see "Earth 2", for example. On 2:00 give or take a different random number of hours each week, but it was there. This is how they got "Sports Night" (where's Dana?) but can never decide when to put it for more than 3 weeks in a row, so I've never been able to follow more than 2 episodes together.
Whoa, this came out way ranty-er than I've meant it to be.

Hey! It's just like the original US run!

I confess I've only seen sports night once and never got the tingle. I feel terrifically deprived.

Well, they are trying to imitate the US in every possible way, including the running of shows - they pulled "Earshot" (and never showed it in the channel that originally aired BtVS), even though it was months on months after the US release. They delayed by months the broadcast of "Graduation DAY I & II", again, despite it already being shown in the USA.

We watched two episodes last night, and IFG.
If I start humming Danny Boy, just shoot me.
Watched a Bush/Blair song vid to start my day. It was both sad and funny.

Well, at least it was delayed until such a date that my friends could throw me a birthday party combined with a group-finale-watching, after all the guests who were not BtVS fans have left. t /Pollyanna Of course, in the middle of the second part I got a phone call from a friend (who couldn't attend) who was in a real need to talk to somebody, so I was on tape-delay in my own group-finale-watching, but that's another story.
