Hurting for money? WB is a TV production company, producing tv shows is what they do (yes they do other stuff too.)

They have been remaking our shows over there for years, and we have taken other countries stuff and made them here too. The only big deal here is that WB is doing the work there, not just licencing out the right for them to make the shows.

This sounds like a desperate plea to get some money which will fail miserably. They shouldn't recreate old shows into a new market. They should actually put some effort into making something new and original...

Actually, here in Argentina Sony pictures, in asociation with a local network, is re-making a lot of old sitcoms. We had local versions of The Nanny (La Niñera), Who's The Boss? (Quien Es El Jefe), Married With Children (Casados Con Hijos) and the upcoming Bewitched(Hechizada). This year Disney catched up that train by re-making Desperate Housewives too...
