Yes, you're getting content from other channels. Kitchen Nightmares is a Channel 4 thing (our best channel outside of the BBC). We've gone from four channels to four hundred and I can't see why. Most of them are just running films that nobody wants to watch or infomercials of a man demonstrating a mop. All the quality has gone and it's just about money.
I'm amazed they bleep out "shit" there. Everyone who has visited has said American TV is very conservative but I thought it may have changed. If I hear "cunt" on TV in the evening, I don't even register it. I'd only be surprised if it was on kid's TV or the news.
I watch Top Gear too (despite never having driven, but then you already know I love cars). I've seen the American version too but it doesn't appeal to me as much. I guess it really did need remaking for your market. The weird thing is that I always think of the Americans and British as similar and yet you often remake our TV and most of the rest of the world watches it as it is.
Having said that, we (very loosely) remade Friends, albeit a much more adult version of Friends.
I hate the history channel
