And for the most part, theyre absolutely right. Its not really a secret that Hollywood and New York pretty much make the television and film industry go, but what people probably dont realize is that, despite American shows inspiring foreign incarnations left and right, the US has imported its fair share of foreign ideas as well. Some, like The Office and Wilfred, are obvious. But there are shows in the United States, including wildly popular reality shows and classic sitcoms alike, that you probably had no idea originated overseas.
