Geez, this just premiered the other night. $30 is a bit much as well since I'm sure it'll be 6 or so episodes.

I was at the taping of the first show and it was pretty good, but while the old characters are still good, most of the new ones don't work as well.
And I agree that it's pretty weird to release the dvd specs a less than a week after the first episode premiered...

Why not just air the original show in the US?This would be true if they had recast the two leads, but in my opinion, why would Walliams and Lucas turn down an offer from a major American network to essentially make a fourth season with bigger budgets and various American comedy stars?

I'm pretty sure there are only 6. At least the BBC are only showing six, would seem odd since they own the rights to the show. A 2 disc set seems a bit much, really.

First, the original series DID play in the U.S.  On BBC America. Second, yes, the DVD is pricey. But we're talking about an HBO release. ALL of their DVD's when first released have been grossly overpriced. Last, so far, only 6 episodes for "Little Britain USA" are listed on IMDB. If so, this will be the first HBO series under 12 episodes for one season.

I image disc 2 is extras.

i saw this in borders so i guess it's an earlier season or something? doesn't look funny to me from what I've seen on HBO
