No Heroics is VERY British humor and I loved every minute of it. I doubt it will work on American network TV though. It would have a better chance on Comedy Central or HBO but even there it'd be a long shot once it's Americanized.

ABC? Really? The show is 25% cursing and sexually suggestive insults, come-ons and in one case outright sexual harassment! In other words good Britcom fun, but how on earth will they translate that to an network show?

Yeah...I see this failing almost immediately. Now if you told me it was going to air on FX, then I would say pair it with Almost Sunny and let the language fly, you might have something.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed, but I don't have very high hopes for this one...

Love the concept though! The Tick was great!

All they do on No Heroics is let people get shot and talk about getting blowjobs in bathroom stalls and have superhero rape fantasies. This will suck on ABC.

I agree with eric. I like the show and watched the whole run in about a day but everything that makes it funny is going to get lost in translation. Now if a cable station was doing this maybe but seems like a disaster

Great show in Britain, unlikely to keep anything that made it great on ABC.

If ABC wants a great, hilarious-but-slightly-off-kilter superhero show, they could pick up The Middleman from ABC Family.

I love this show though it is quite risque and contains a lot of swearing etc.

There is a good review of it here that you might find find interesting....

It is a solid Brit show, some moments of brilliant humor. But I agree, it is too raunchy to translate well once abc dillutes it down.

"Obtained superlative ratings"? Put your hands up and back away from the thesaurus, Brad! As the old joke goes, "Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do."

Anyway, I've no familiarity with the original. The Will & Grace connection doesn't give me a lot of hope for the adaptation.

the british show is awesome, no way it will traslate to american viewers. its dirty raunchy and totally fracking awesome!!
