Dear Russia, We’re Sorry

Not for the whole cold war thing, that’s been over and done for a while. We’re apologizing because it’s about to get a little colder for Russia, with a healthy dose of bad American television. The Hollywood Reporter is saying Warner Bros. is developing new versions of Suddenly Susan, Step by Step, Full House and Perfect Strangers for Russian broadcasters.
CTC has committed to 40 episodes of Suddenly Susan and Step By Step — which coincidently takes place in Port Washington, Wis. — and 20 episodes of Full House.
Ren TV debuted an updated version of Perfect Strangers, with mismatched cousins — one from Moscow and the other from a remote ex-Soviet Union republic — living together in an apartment.
Apparently, they were not interested in an updated Russian version of Family Matters. Imagine Urkle saying “Did I Do That?” with a Russian accent. Funny!
