AFAIK The Office and All in the Family were American English versions of
originally British English shows. The Office (UK) has been the basis of several
other English and non-English variants, though.

Sanford and Son was based on a British show, Steptoe and Son.  I need to
see the original sometime.

There was a show in one of the Scandanavian countries... I think it was
named after the link between them and mainland Europe... that was later
remade into a British/French show called, IIRC, The Tunnel, which links the
UK and France.  It made me curious about the original.
