I think the fact it's being made at all is great news, and very interesting to see how this much loved British sitcom will go down in the States. Things in its favour are timing for one, with the recession hitting hard over there, it could be a good backdrop for their stories. The lead actor looks about right for Del Boy too. And don't ABC have a good record with British covers?
Yeah I'm quite optimistic for it, if they can make it as funny as our one, certainly I think it has the characters to pull a fanbase in, as it did here. I think if nothing else you'll get a fair few viewers from Britain alone wanting to see how it plays. Wonder if they'll keep the names the same? Hope they do. Looking forward to viewing this when it runs, as the Beeb's unusually clever afternoon rerun has reminded me how blimming good it was.
