Good news and bad news for Spaced

SpacedLet's start with the good news, because I like ending on a downer. American fans of the British comedy Spaced, starring Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson), and Nick Frost, are in for a treat because the Spaced Region 1 DVD finally has a release date! Expect the good stuff to come out July 23 of this year. I'm tempted to buy it just because it's something new, shiny, and Spaced-related, but I already splurged on the 3-Disc Collectors' Set and a region-free player that I got just so that I could watch the series. Why, yes, I am a sad little person.

It goes without saying that I'm a huge fan of the series. Without it, I'd be an empty, Jaffa Cake-less shell of a human being. It is this very same love that has caused me to join the angry mob of fans against the upcoming Americanized version of Spaced, not-so-affectionately called "McSpaced" because of its creative force here, McG. Yes, this is the bad news. It looks like the series is going to become increasingly likely and nobody but McG (and maybe FOX) looks happy. Recently, Simon Pegg issued a statement on his fansite and director Edgar Wright has been updating pretty frequently on the issue. The more I hear about it, the more frustrated I get. A part of me would rather have them rip off the idea and not associate it with my precious Spaced at all.

Can't we just talk it out over tea and A-Team theme remixes?
