SKINS - to go the way of coupling or the office?

My money's on Coupling. Becuase you cant ACTUALLY TALK about SEX on american TV.
thats why the UK is better.
But still, they will try.....dry humping instead of fucking, etc.
Seriously, can we just try to be as open as the rest of the world? Just once?

Popular Channel 4 show Skins, about teens- 16 and 17 yr olds- being teens - specifically doing drugs and banging everything that moves, is going international.

Already optioned in Spain and in Romania, "There has been interest from a couple of U.S. networks to adapt the format," Channel 4's acquisitions head Jeff Ford says.

Created by veteran British scriptwriter Brian Elsley and his son James, "Skins" employs a writing team mostly in its early 20s; one episode of the current run is written by an 18-year-old.

"One reason why the audience has taken to 'Skins' is because it doesn't preach," Channel 4's head of scheduling Rosemary Newell says.
FAT CHANCE THIS WILL HAPPEN IN AMERICA, WE NEED MORALS TO EVERY STORY.

"There are things in 'Skins' like young people having sex and doing drugs that make people feel uncomfortable," Ford says. "If HBO or Showtime made a version of 'Skins,' there wouldn't be a problem: A (broadcast) network adaptation would need to be watered down."
[sad. just like coupling.]
