Why can&#39;t we Americans seem to get this right? Alison Waldman of TV Squad has a theory: The fact is that even with Jennifer Saunders on board to work on the American version, AbsolutelyenCommunityServer 2007.1 (Build: 20910.1126)http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/archive/2009/05/15/american-quot-ab-fab-quot-is-not-happening.aspx#204830Sun, 17 May 2009 16:20:40 GMTbd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:204830Keith<p>&quot;...even Julia Louis-Dreyfus if we could get over the Seinfeld thing.&quot;</p> <p>What &quot;Seinfeld thing&quot; Kalish? In case you hadn't noticed, she's been on that &quot;Old Christine thing&quot; for like 4 years now. Oh, what's that? She also won the Best Actress in a Comedy Emmy for it??? OK, so it doesn't have the viewership of So You Think You Can Dance... way to go America. The show may be inferior to both The Office and Parks and Recreation, if only because the slapstick sitcom with LFN is so... well, so Seinfeld. </p> <p>Regardless, the show has been nominated-for and won several other awards and frankly I think it does quite well for having absolutely no buzz or marketing.
