Why? I've never understood why people are opposed to a new version of something. It doesn't diminish the original. And the new one might be good, too. It might not, and I have no problem with either comparing it with the original or calling the remake flat out bad, if that's the case. But, at least in US television these days, remaking a sitcom that was good elsewhere is probably a better idea than coming up with yet another reality show. (Not that those aren't being stolen from elsewhere as well.)
