By far the stupidest Americanization I've encountered is when Netflix changed "The Great British Bake Off" to "The Great British Baking Show".
They are honestly recording 2 versions of every intro for this?

- jetbooster 4y agoI saw a current events comedy show filmed live in the UK (The Last Leg), and they filmed two intros because the Australian network which bought the rights to rebroadcast couldn't afford the rights for the theme music. It was bizarre.

- sarchertech 4y agoIn the newer shows, the hosts actually say “The Great British Baking Show” during the intro.
