Men Behaving Badly US

1990s tv sitcom

Kevin and Jamie are roommates with colourful views on world, sex and dating. American version of British classic.

Men Behaving Badly US is another example how not to import British comedy series to United States. Original series was great and it would be most sensible to just transfer the characters to American reality, but obviously someone had different idea and what hit the fan... sorry, the TV screen, was a colorless pulp.

First of all they took few of the ideas for episodes that worked well in original series and... remade them completely (God knows why) losing all the comical appeal. Second - they have changed the main four characters and completely changed the realtions between them. Third mistake - they have miscasted the main characters (each and every one of them) plus the supporting characters in the office. And what was the last nail to the coffin of that sitcom they kept changing the cast during the shooting - the neighbor next door changed 3 times and for second series the main female character was changed.

The series is a nightmare for the viewers, especially if they saw the original Men Behaving Badly - the scripts are really poor, cast is completely wrong and they managed to lose all the strong points of UK version - dirty and sometimes disgusting jokes, drunken adventures of main characters, the constant chase of Tony after the next door neighbor.
