I'll go first....The Office.

Now I know the two shows are fundamentally quite different, but they adapted what was already a very successful show, and turned It into an event more successfully one that lasted for significantly longer than the original did. I say that's a win for them.

Anything else? Life on Mars, Being Human, The Inbetweeners.....?

The Cosby Show was the 80s. Cosby was 96-2000.

Huh - I assumed they were the same thing.
I wonder if it never aired in the UK...
