Ghosts: USA
UK audiences accept and enjoy American comedies as originally conceived and performed. It is a shame that American audiences seem to always need a rewrite of British comedies and cannot enjoy the original. Ghosts originated in the UK and was written and acted by the British Horrible Histories cast.
UK – not even a contest I’m afraid.
I’m up to date on Ghosts US, then during a spring hiatus the network (ABC?) aired the first two seasons of Ghosts UK (short seasons, two per evening/week, maybe more, so only took a few weeks). Then about a month ago a new BBC channel on a Free Preview MARATHONED them, Seasons 1 through 3 on a loop, all 3 seasons in like 2 days then repeated, so I caught Season 3, now they slowed down to one per week, just saw Season 4 Episode 3 this past Friday. (I hope I manage to learn of the end of the Free Preview in time to sign up for the channel, I doubt it’ll stay free long enough to finish the final Season, 5, at this rate, I doubt they’ll even finish 4). Here in Canada I just found out CBC Gem has the whole series for free anyway, so I can finish it there if I need to. I made a text file to keep track of everyone’s stats, including when they died – gleaned from the shared Ghosts wiki – and in what order (so, when THIS one died who was around to see it), how they died, what their power is… Even a separate table to show equivalencies – Pete is the American version of Pat as the neck arrow scout guy, Thor is the American version of Robin, as the oldest most out of touch ghost, Hetty is Fanny, the only family member and namesake to the mansion, etc… 🙂
I didn’t notice at first, but I LOVE that the UK ghosts do double duty as the basement ghosts. I can only usually recognize Kitty for sure, but last time (when the basement ghosts were enamoured with the Shakespearean actor guy) I felt I spotted Julian and maybe another… Also, it amuses me that the credits tell us that Humphrey’s head is also Robin. 🙂
