Right, I live in England and Gavin and Stacy was one of my favourite programmes and when I herd that they were making a US remake I thought they were going to ruin it like the Inbetweeners (Totally ruined btw). After watching this All the characters are good except Nessa and Smithy (Called something else on this version). The Uncle Bryn equivalent was great just the right side of creepy.
I'm not sure if it takes away from the comedy that they don't have welsh accents either. That's nessa's charm! But I think Ruth Jones had some input into the show so I'm hoping its good!
Alexis Bledel must be desperate for a paycheck; this is terrible. What a shame to see a great actress like Jane Kaczmarek wasted here. Also, the curly guy is a super annoying Josh Gad-like buffoon. Then again, it probably won't last too long. I'll be surprised if it runs its entire 13-episode order.
This just looks horrible. Gavin & Stacey was one of the funniest shows with Smithy and Nessa being two of the stand out hilarious characters. No disrespect but I just wish the US would stop remaking classic UK shows. It very rarely works.

I'll give it a chance.
ReplyDeleteAww, they look so cute together. I'll check it out.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The characters for Nessa and Smithy are horrible.
ReplyDeleteI saw the BBC version called Gavin and Stacey it was epic lets hope this one lives up 2 it!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletelooks fun..I see this as the new Ben and Kate but hopefully it wont fail.
ReplyDeleteThe supporting characters are amusing but they'll have to be to make up for the extremely bland lead pair of Ritter and Bledel.
ReplyDeleteGavin and Stacey was one of the sweetest shows ever, not sure that it needed a remake but lets wait and see?
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cute! Ugh saddens me that it's being held for midseason, wish they would reconsider and move it to the fall or late fall
ReplyDeletenot my thing, but I see how it might appeal to others, decent cast though
ReplyDeleteLooks cute!
