CBS has this weird thing where they get good unique shows with lots of potential and then litter them with little bits of crap and stupidity because the execs are fucking morons (that's really the only explanation I can think of). So that's what I'm afraid of -- that it'll be some really cool concept whose potential will get totally wasted.

Also, I don't get why an American version has to be set in America. Couldn't it be, like, two Americans who are living in London? Or like, have just one of them be an American? I think that would actually highlight the city of London (which yeah, I've always viewed as almost a character) even more because they're not actually natives and therefore would be justified in explaining and exploring and learning about all the little details of the city, which would be really cool. Although that could easily degenerate into "Brits are weird, lets make them weirder to justify writing weird stories!" God, I hate having to be so mistrustful of network execs.

Or at least, like, Chicago. Or New Orleans. Or Philadelphia. Or something. Not New York City AGAIN.

THIS!
One of the things I liked about C.S.I. (also on CBS) was that it wasn't set in New York (it's set in Las Vegas). Or even LA, Chicago, or Boston, which seem to be popular alternatives to NYC.

I'm trying to think where a good place for a US version of Sherlock Holmes to be set. Somewhere in New England...? (-:

The reason for NYC and not London is money, money, money. It's freakin' expensive to do a show in London. Even for a network.

I love your idea of two or one Americans in London, (Especially if it was John Watson. Just having returned from Afghanistan. Thought he just get out of the US because the PTSD was becoming too much.) But again, the dollar is weak. CBS is at its heart, a company, and the lesser risk if the show were to flop, would to keep it in US.

Hell, do it in London, Ontario.

Thisity this this this. I have a raging case of second city syndrome, so I like your idea of Chicago
