[QUOTE="Soaplover, post: 438317, member: 336"] I can contest that the following were popular UK sitcoms here in the states: Keeping Up with Appearances, Are you Being Served, Faulty Towers, AdFab, and The Vicar of Dibley AdFab - A lot of people here in the states felt such sympathy for the daughter because she had to sacrifice her life/childhood to parent her. A sitcom that was remade in the 2000s (I think) was called Coupling where they used the original UK scripts and the show fell flat. Right before the show was yanked off the schedule, the show produced an original episode that was somewhat funny.. but it was little to no late for the show. In regards to Chrissy Snow: Suzanne Somers said that the pony tail came because of issues with bleaching her hair and it was used to cover it.. and the show kept it as a look for the character... and SS stated she didn't view the Chrissy character as working after the first two seasons so she slowly started to go more broad and over the top in how she played the Chrissy character. It was sort of what happened to SS on Step by Step where she said she had to really focus on not going for the punchline/funniest bit because she was playing the sitcom mom trope.. and that it was difficult for her at times. On that show, you did see the Carol character changing somewhat with her becoming a bit more broad in the later seasons vs her more matronly lower key take in the earlier seasons. [/QUOTE]
