TV Shows The US copied from the UK and viceversa
I'm just trying to think of all the shows America copied from the UK and shows that the UK copied from America. By "copied" I mean they got a new cast/name etc so for example the UK never copied Cheers or Family Guy and so on since we get the origonal American version. Some shows aren't official copies but its blatently obvious they are a total copy.
All I have so far is:

Origonal name - Name of the copy

UK to US
Steptoe and Son - Sanford and Son
One Foot In The Grave - The Bill Cosby Show (so I'm told)
The Office
Casualty - ER
Londons Burning - Rescue Me
Whose Line Is It Anyway
Big Brother
Weakest Link
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Pop Idol - American Idol
Queer Eye For The Straight Guy
Faking it - Faking it USA
Gladiators - American Gladiators (I'm not 100% on this but the fact that its labeled as American Gladiators, like alot of stuff America takes, I assumed the UK had it first but I may be wrong)
Beadles About - The Jamie Kennedy Experiment

They where going to do Absolutly Fabulous but it was to "Explicit" for American TV, supposedly. They where going to do Porridge aswell but American TV executives thought it made crime look good so the US version of that never got past the pilot episode.

US to UK
Family Fueds - Family Fortunes
Wheel of Fortune
Price is Right

I know theres alot more both from UK to US and US to UK. If I made mistakes, let me know. BTW, if it has USA at the end its most likely the US version of a foreign show. Add more.

Well, stuff like ER originated from Michael Crichton wanting to make a movie out of it in the early 70's, but eventually turning it into a television series, so it didn't copy anything.

I've never heard of One Foot in the Grave, but looking at IMDB quick, it says it started in 1990? Cosby Show was on in the 80's, so I dunno.

Rescue Me is a show about New York City firefighters and their lives after 9/11. Pretty sure they weren't copying any other sources with that one.

We definitely did do a remake of The Office and several game shows and some reality things. Distraction is another one you forgot to mention. Hell, we even have Jimmy Carr as the host of the show.

I prefer the Brit Whose Line.

But the US Office has been really good. I love the UK one and was really worried this would be terrible. But it is far from it.

I hate it when America steals our programs.

I heard that Family Fortunes was originally Australian and it was called Family Fueds. But it did really bad over there so we took it.

And The Price Is Right is originally British. We started it in the 1984 but the makers of it had the idea in the 50's, but ITV didn't want it, so America wanted it and they got it. So it first appeared on American T.V but it's originally British.

Kryten was in it from the start (and was played by Robert Lewellyn, but all his lines didnt seem as funny).

Some clean cut american guy played Lister, who is supposed to be a useless no-hoper, and another "pretty-boy" american played Rimmer, who is supposed to be a geeky loser.

Oh, and Jane Leeves of Frasier fame played Holly, and just destroyed the part.

Well of course we copy some successful foreign shows. The only thing that Americans will watch that isn't Americanized is anime it seems. We pretty much copy every damned gameshow though. (please tell me Jeopardy isn't a copy)

Stuff like Big Brother is sort've just a shitty(shittier?) version of 'the Real World'. I don't know why we bothered. At least the Surreal Life has some hasbeen actors and various pseudo famous people.

We actually did air the original version of Absolutely Fabulous for a bit on Comedy Central. We also aired the British version of Whose Line and I believe the people from Trigger Happy TV did a season of the show in America and they aired that here.

We also get the show 'Hustle' on one of the lesser watched channels now.
