TBF, as far as I understand it, the reason that American TV generally doesn't release subtitled things and does adaptations instead is only in part because of the subtitles. The bigger reason is that it's just generally far more profitable to make your own version of it for financial reasons - you get a bigger cut of the money compared to rebroadcasting a foreign show.

Yeah but you don't have to pay to make it. Wouldn't that balance each other out?

nayrt

Not necessarily. Look at the original British The Office vs. the American The Office. British one ran for two seasons, while the U.S one ran for nine, which was 12 episodes vs. 201 episodes. The U.S. version had a wider American audience (because quite a few people won't watch shows with foreign accents) and a longer running time, meaning more advertising sold. It also means the American company who remade the British show owns merchandising rights, syndication rights AND DVD box set rights, which all results in more money... money they would not have made if they'd simply rebroadcast the British show (which they'd also have to pay to do, BTW). Even though they had to pay to make it, it probably yielded a far bigger investment.

I strongly, strongly doubt it. I mean, if that were the case, no one would make anything - if nothing else, the fact is that most studios are very well adapted to the business model of paying to make something and then monetizing it. Like, if you're capable of investing the money to create a show and have the means to monetize it, you would always prefer to make the show yourself, and that is what studios do. And there's just so many means of monetizing it, you know?

It's what most tv channels in Europe do. Broadcast whatever popular thing America has cheaply get all of the advertising money and something you are sure is hit without the effort of making something yourself. And you can use the sure hits to advertise your own programmes that you can monetize.
