US 'Being Human' greenlit by Syfy
Syfy has handed a 13-episode order to a US version of Being Human.

The show, originally developed by the BBC for a UK audience, centres around a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living in modern-day Bristol.

"It turned out great as we can now do an American version," said Syfy president Dave Howe. "We've always been keen on vampires and werewolves, and we loved the originality of Being Human, the fact that the fantastical creatures in it are very young, accessible and charming."

I read about this yesterday, and I'm sorry, but I really like the Brit version and I doubt we can do it any better. I hate it when American tv does this.

You'll not be able to make it better all they will do is change the cam filters to make it all shiny & lose the humour that was more than 50% of the show.

I know i piss and moan about these remakes (rightly so imo) but the only one not to have failed was/is The Office,that's only because it's harder to change the format of a show that is situated on the one set and that the casting team couldn't have done a better job if their lives depended on it.

I wonder if vampire: the masquerade will ever crawl out of the shadows and show people how its done. unlikely, I know.

meh, liked the show, but if you remake it US style, you get a buffy-twilight halfbreed
