Reply #6: Miser's Would Rather Lose A Million Dollars Rather Than Pay Writers An Extra Dime

[Me.]

Which is what they going to try to do. For all their big, macho talk they're going to lose big and this nonsense of British writers show them up. As pointed out upthread translation is needed to transform Brit shows into American. The American office is very different that the original as an example. Plus there will be start up time lost if you can even get American actors to cooperate. Just like with all the other ideas the big boys have had, this one hasn't been fully thought out. Just ask the banks how that bankruptcy bill is doing for them now that people are paying their credit card debt but walking away from their mortgages.
