Trivia

According to Edgar Wright, he was asked to work on an American version of the series. However, he foresaw problems with that, since one of the basic concepts of the show (elements from American pop culture in a British setting) would be lost if it were done in the U.S. What finally made him turn down the offer, was the inexplicable demand that the Mike character could not have any weapons. A UK production company finally sold the movie rights to FOX, but the only attempt to make an American remake was a television pilot (Spaced (2008)), which understandably involved none of the original creators or actors. This version did not go to series and has never had any formal release. See more »

User Reviews

More Please...
20 February 2005 | by samgisoadSee all my reviews

'Spaced' is, for my money, one of the best comedy series produced in the English language in the last ten years; genuinely, laugh-out-loud funny, scrupulously well-written, brilliantly acted and with a kicking soundtrack that has introduced me, at least (and I'm guessing a few others) to some fantastic little-known bands (Using LemonJelly long before they were famous, for example) - this must rank alongside 'Black Books' in its cult-but-inclusive appeal. The true genius is in the fact that you could probably watch this with your vicar and - apart from a low swearing incidence - they would find little to criticise (unlike, say, equally funny but edgier shows; Chris morris' work for example) but it still makes perfect post-pub viewing. When one sees the dross that usually passes for sitcom in the UK, once-great Shakespearean actors mugging at the camera and silently cursing their agent as the canned laughter robotically shrieks, you wonder why they don't just hand over the entire comedy drama section of UK TV to Pegg, Stevenson, Bailey, Moran and Serafinowicz. Please make more. Please.
