Oh Skiffy...

Syfy has requested a rework of "Being Human" for the US. They really need to change their slogan from "Imagine Greater" to "We'll take anyone else's idea that worked and then run it into the ground. Unless it's actually popular. Then we'll cancel it."

I'm extremely leery of how an Americanized version will do. For me the cast is a HUGE part of why I love "Being Human". I'm not sure they could duplicate that. I also wonder how watered down it would be.

I know they won't be able to duplicate the casting, and will change all the plot elements to make it "new".

It will be so Americanized it won't even be recognizable. I guess that's how they plan to get away with calling it an "original" show.

There's a whole level of edge that I just can't see them taking on. At it's purist, the show is about an addict, an agoraphobic and a guy with an STD. I don't see anybody Skiffy brings on board being able to grasp that.

I've always viewed the trio as an addict with an STD (vampire), agoraphobic (ghost), and someone with OCD (George also happens to be a werewolf *g*). So we weren't too far off in our view.

Skiffy will just see vampire, werewolf and ghost, then probably cast them as teenagers in high school.

Ha, yes, of course! And beautiful, to boot. *rolls eyes*
