it's just like the real one, except completely crap
Apparently the US network Fox tried, at some point, to produce a remake of the brilliant British comedy Spaced.
Mercifully, the attempt died, but a couple of clips from it have emerged and can be seen here at the AV Club.
Watching the clips is a bizarre experience, because I recognize many ingredients from Spaced, including some lines directly stolen, and yet the result is bad. Painfully unfunny. It's a fascinating little glimpse into how much has to be right for a TV show to be good.
