ABC is making a
US version of
Being Erica? WHAT? WHY? I mean, I know Canadians are like a totally different species and all, with the funny way they pronounce "sorry" and "about," and the whole Mounties thing, but is it really necessary to make a new version for Americans?
I am rolling my eyes at the "the original has been too widely seen to just reair it" excuse, because um, what? Widely seen by the twelve people who get SoapNet and the dedicated few who download it? I DON'T THINK SO. With the exception of
The Office, American TV has ruined just about every foreign show they've gotten their hands on, and the original is already so good that it might actually, I don't know, ATTRACT AN AUDIENCE if it were on a channel normal people actually watch. Yes, even though they're Canadian!
Don't be dumb, ABC.
