It’s a cable show, it isn’t aimed for near as many as the broadcast networks. The cable network is also specifically targeted at a certain age and gender (young males). The total audience will probably be under the 500k mark.

Like Rove, The Office, Kath & Kim etc, this is one of those shows that is going to be lost in translation despite the Americans having only a different dialect of English, they are worlds apart with the exception of a minority of intellects who understand Australian and British humour.

Are they sure they don’t want to remake it?

Hey Kitten – they would probably have to edit out those bits where they interview American residents too – they certainly wont understand the humour in that!

Man love this show, can’t believe the apec stunt was almost a year and a half ago, man time just flies.

Yeh a bit of editing will have to be done, like the stunt where the chaser try and pay for petrol using bananas (during the banana cyclone of 06)

And in the first episode when the winner of one of their quiz games gets a wheel barrow full of mars bars and snickers ( during the mars bars and snickers recall of 06)

It will surely have to be edited for US screening. Otherwise, much of it will make no sense.
