Have you checked out the UK version of Being Human? (SyFy in America is basically "Stealing" Being Human, and americanising it. Doesn't anyone else besides FX and USA have any original ideas for telly programming? :roll: ) Over there Series 3 has/ will be starting. BBC America has a site on it's website for Being Human.

I need to find Series 1 & 2 of the UK Being Human to see if I will like it. I won't watch any show here that "stole the idea" from another country's telly programming. ( like American Idol, America Has/Got Talent, Americanised Top Gear, Dancing with the Stars, et.al)

I don't care. A Good Show is a Good Show.

SyFy in America is basically "Stealing" Being Human, and americanising it.

:arrow: Just like the Beatles stole an AMERICAN R&B song, right?

"Twist and Shout" ring a bell...?:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

PS ~ "americanising" has an effing "Z" in it....and, I hate the Beatles.

Wow Nora, what got you all pissy? I was just giving you some info on the UK version of Being Human. And yes, I know of the Beatles "taking" an R&B Song way back then. What I was trying to say is that lately not an original idea has come out of Hollywood.. which includes film and telly shows.

This is also the first time you have been the grammar police... As I said... What got you all pissy tonight?

The few episodes of the UK version that I saw I thought were boring. It is basically a soap opera with a vampire, werewolf and a ghost.
