If they ever try to do an American Version....


If they ever try to do an American version, I can see Bob Newhart as one of the three old men. Any other casting suggestions?

The way most US TV shows are, Cedric the Entertainer is a shoo-in!

It wouldn't be the same, they would probably put a morale after each episode and I wouldn't like that. Life is not about morales is about living and that's what's the show is about doing the impossible at times. Also they would probably have a young fine thing flirting with an old Howard like man and that would suspend disbelief on my part. I don't believe really young women go out with 100 year old men without seeking their wallets.
