A bomb here, a hit there

[carlisle96]

I don't know if this topic has already been tackled, but I was trying to think of shows that didn't make it in the U.S. but were hits overseas. Fractured Phrases died here, but ran on the CBC for several years. Call My Bluff wasn't a success on NBC, but it's probably still running in Britain. Blockbusters was only a modest success here, but a big hit in the U.K. Any others?

Catchphrase.

Yes, it started here in the US and flopped.

[carlisle96]

Yes...I nearly forgot about that one

Keynotes didn’t sell here, but lasted three years in the UK.

Never Mind the Buzzcocks lasted almost twenty years in its original run in the UK, and about a month here.

Try as we might, America does not have room on its plate for Crystal Maze or the fore bearer Fort Boyard.

Knockout and Every Second Counts came and went in the States, but ran for a few years in the UK.

[Casey Buck]

Wipeout only lasted 1 year here, but 9 years in the UK.

I loved the Nickelodeon run, short as it was.  Did it do poorly in the ratings or was it canceled for other reasons?  I recall it ran right around the time Covid restrictions and lockdowns were starting to hit and I've always wondered if that contributed to its demise or if it was doomed anyway.

Don't want to be that guy, but shouldn't this be thrown into the Big Board?

A few that spring to mind:

Strike it Rich -- one year wonder here, but well over a decade in the UK.

Hot Streak -- thirteen weeks here, something like thirteen years in Germany, I think?

Lingo -- the forgotten one-season run here (at first, anyway), but two and a half decades in the original Netherlands run, plus some multi-year success in some other European countries, to say nothing of the resurgence the format's had in general the last couple years.

Pass The Buck got new life 20 years later in the UK and lasted for 3 years.

[DoorNumberFour]

Blockbusters. Celebrity Sweepstakes.

Weakest Link lasted for 12 years in the UK and only 1 season with Anne and George.

Temptation (New Sale) did poorly in America and lasted 1 season while the Australian revival lasted 4 seasons.
