Same thing with Skins originally aired in UK, then America took it and it battled with the parents and it was on the borderline of being banned by the FCC (Federal Censorship Corporations). I've seen them both and the American Skins seemed a little bit more darker than the British version.

The reason I think why when Americans takes foreign shows and make it their version but keeping it in the original plotlines are very difficult since the two Censorship corporations are very different from each other in their morals and values.

In American, it's alright if we disembowled someone, decapitate them, blow their brains out, all of those violent acts but God forbid if a postion other than missionary can affect a child life negatively. So open about violence, restriction on sex.

In Europe, it's alright if the postions are out of the terms we live by like doggy styles, blowjobs (I'm not listing them all, but you know what I mean), and God forbids if someone gets shot out of revenge. So open about sex, restriction on violence.

English shows are more open to the real world type of things like teens will go out partying, get drunk, have sex, take drugs, etc. It's a rebellion process that kids go through at some point.

American shows are the more glamorized worlds and WOULD think that the world is perfect, expecting that their teens will be in their rooms, studying, go to school, and be a good child when in the underworld part is the drinking, drugs, and sex; and that what makes parents fear for is if their children watch a show like Skins they'll end up be junkies later on which isn't the case at all.

American parents are really fearfull and don't blame themselves for letting your child to watch (British-gone-American) Skins they blame the corporartions for their problems. Show are based on to entertain us, not teach us about the norms and what you should do in public and how to act.
