BBC iplayer is your friend or dvd recorder and failing those the trusty old vcr :)
But yes the clips I have seen so far do look good.
Hmmm just watched it, wasnt too impressed. It was funny in places but dumbed down in places also.

my gf n me are fans of lil britain, i will be watching this on friday! (or on iplayer if im out).
I never liked it when it was over here. I suspect I'd like a US version even less.
yeah, i think the clue was in the titleQuote:

Little Britain USA is the worst piece of s#!t I have ever seen on my television; which is to say: I've only had my current TV for just over a year and I tend to watch arguably intelligent programming. But come on! I live in America. We invented s#!t television, and this...this?
F:censored:K!

But an American did not invent the tv. In fact it was more of a contribution from a number of people.
See: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_invented_the_television
Now back to the topic: i think I may watch the first one see what its like, but most likely not watch the rest. Watched all the UK ones so its more of the same if not dumbed down a bit (no offence meant).
Little Britain was never anything more than a pale, mainstream evolution (ripoff?) of the League of Gentlemen. I expect less from Little Britain USA.

Why is everyone going on about iplayer? It's on normally telly :p
I'll give it ago tomorrow, quite liked the original series, although I never saw all of it.
Cos no one can be bothered to stay in on a Friday night to watch it. Record it or watch it on iplayer but don't miss a night out for it!Quote:

Exactly, the credit crunch is not so bad that you have to spend your friday night in front of the TV, without friday night beers down the pub to relieve the stress of the long week there is no light at the end of the tunnel :oQuote:

The BBC version was different to the HBO edition!
Well I opted for 'The Tudors' instead lol Will watch this on iplayer later.
I thought it was utter kack - lot's of seriously unfunny and overacted sketches. I think the first series was ok, but the rest are not much more than a christmas cash cow.
Yep I have to agree with you on that one!:)Quote:

Myself, I haven't watched it and have no plans to, it was clever when it came out but grew old very fast.
the series went stale very quickly. after the first series it just kept repeating the same jokes in differing situations
Another vote on the stale side of things, does just seem to be a cash in on a brand type of situation !
Same. It was rubbish. the best ones were series one but USA just isn't that goodQuote:

it wasn't that great im sorry to say!
Britain+USA don't belong in the same sentence!
haha yes it looks very good cant wait
The Weightwatchers / lesbian sketch was pretty funny...:surprised:
My apologies for breaking the swearing rule. I figured if it was allowed on British television, it'd be allowed here.:surrender:
Also, Little Britain USA still sucks.
well I thought it was alright :heckle:
although oddly it seemed ruder than the uk version :confused:
