There can be only one moan and some Dr Who art

Fox to remake Torchwood and possibly Doctor Who in America

Torchwood I can see working in the US even if the idea leaves me cold, they were aiming for a very American feel with COE. Though the whole fact they’re created by the Queen to defend Britain from alien threat kind of knocks that idea upside its head, unless they include the ‘special’ relationship the US and UK have in that. But really the US has it’s own Torchwood, it’s called Fringe ;) Only worry is it’ll now be in the US with no new UK based eps, no Barrowman and no Gwen ;_;

But Doctor Who Americanised? NO! just…bugger off…NO! He’s like Sherlock Homes, a very national institution and I would just HATE that so very much. Feel childish in my dislike for this but he’s as British as Fish and Chips and has been for generations, don’t ruin that lazy US networks, get your own heroes.

I’ve ranted about this before so I’ll shut up now *looks sheepish*

Well I doodled to cheer myself up and this is what I get for drawing when I’m not particularly in much of a drawing mood because things go so off, LOLs at her bad anatomy and just general BAD.


Oh well just read this about the Doctor and Master in a Interview with Russell Davies

“Why doesn’t the Master kill the Doctor?”
“Because he loves him” replies Russell “Honestly I think he does.” GUH!!!

And had to draw something with them in it, even if the poor Doctor looks a gangly mess ;) I feel like arguing with my style as I’d love to draw a bit more cartoony than I do but *rage* I always have to go into so much detail. Life on Mars drawing coming up next, though they’re right sods to draw ;(

Oh, that wasn't directed at American viewers, but the attitude of the executives thinking they have to absolutely remake everything - as if the American audience couldn't/wouldn't watch a British TV show or an Asian horror film.

In fairness, a lot of Americans just don't "get" British shows (especially the humour; I think its too dry for most American viewers), for better or worse. *shrug* I'm not exactly sure what's not to "get", but you know how it is.

I don't even watch much television anymore, because its all too mindless for me, so I don't know how good of a judge I am of the general American viewing population. *smile*

I'm glad, I just didn't want to make the impression I was pulling an 'oh those stupid Americans' because that really isn't my attitude. And yeah, a lot of Germans don't get British humour either so I know what you mean. ^^

Actually, there's been some really great American TV shows lately (Fringe or Mad Men for example), which AGAIN begs the question why they think they need to remake an already good British one. ^^*

It's okay! I just hear that sort of sentiment a lot on the net and it GETS OLD so i'm sensitive to it.

I think i've heard about Fringe, but I know that I love Dollhouse, though I think that show might have been cancelled. Of course. I liked it, therefore it must die.

*LAUGH*
