Just got the dvd after missing it on E4 and think this is a cracking comedy...
 

I'm patiently waiting for the one episode I missed to come up in the repeat.
It's taking tooo long!!!

E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners is headed for a US remake.

US network ABC has ordered a pilot from creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, who will adapt the show with a US writer.

The network has also given the pair a second blind script commitment for a future project.

Morris and Beesley's indie Bwark is currently in production on a second series of the comedy, which was E4's first original sitcom.

It centres around four teenage boys in suburbia and their doomed quest to meet girls, buy alcohol and get into the best parties.

Morris and Beesley pitched it to ABC as Superbad meets Freeks and Geeks and plan to set the remake in a US high school.

The pair also wrote an episode of the first series of HBO's Flight of the Conchords.


I had a feeling this would happen but I don't know how they're going to make it work mostly because of the swearing.
 

Sounds promising for them. Good luck guys!

It does indeed sound promising. I'm so sick of those idiotic glamourised American shows like "90210" or "One Tree Hill" or "The O.C". They're just shallow and irritating and all the characters have really made-up sounding names. "Freaks and Geeks" had more depth on a level that those shows couldn't even approach and was extremely believable. And as for "Superbad", in spite of all the crude humour, had a lot of depth as well.

You're a beautiful woman, probably
 

I imagine there is a big potential market for The Inbetweeners USA... like you say, we're all fed up by glamourised high-school dramas we see, so just think how sick to the teeth all their 'normal' teenagers must be.

The Office is the only successful UK to US comedy translation since, well, I can't think of the last. I suspect a US exec will ruin the Inbetweeners too: "But how about we, like, make these kids all really hot looking"
