Amazon.co.uk Review
History is littered of examples of comedy shows that have been lost in translation, or have faltered when moving too far away from home. But Little Britain USA is different. And the key reason is that its creators, writers and performers--David Walliams and Matt Lucas--went along for the ride, too.

Enlisting the services of Tom Baker to do the voice overs as well, Little Britain USA thus allows itself to play heavily on fish out of water gags where necessary, but effectively transplant the humour of the show to a fresh context. This allows Lucas and Walliams to reintroduce Vicky Pollard, Margery Dawes, Lou and Andy and a few other favourites from the UK series, as well as introducing a new clutch of characters, too (an ex-astronaut is a particular favourite).

There’s a fair amount of introducing the show to a new audience with Little Britain USA, which does mean that some of the material will have a familiar, almost-recap feel to it. And it does tend to be quite bumpy, too, taking a few episodes to find its feet and its confidence. But when it does get firing, then it delivers the rude, funny jokes that the Little Britain team are rightly renowned for. In short, a successful export, and one that should develop as further series are made. --Jon Foster

Synopsis
Matt Lucas and David Walliams return with this rather American flavoured version of their popular show. Favourite characters including Margery Dawes, Lou and Andy, Bubbles and Vicky Pollard venture across the Atlantic and rub shoulders with a variety of all new characters.

I Enjoyed this!!
I Found Little Brittain Usa to be very enjoyable and funny.
thought the old characters were good, and the new ones were funny and a welcome addition, I Especially liked Ellie grace, the 8th man on the Moon,and old faves Lou and andy and marjorie doors.
I'll be buying this when it comes out.
If you dont like it, dont watch it or buy it simple

I would love them to succeed!
I must say that I'm a huge fan of the three series of LB. They are witty and so unbelievably cheeky that you fall for them easily. I was excited when they made another series but it's a flop. A lot of the jokes are those that appeared on the show before or are in the live show. A lot of sketches are simply not funny. It seems to me that Matt Lucas and David Walliams have run out of ideas and they seem to be struggling. They have received mixed reviews not because people did not get them but simply because they managed to produce a mediocre show. I personally think that it is time for them to move on and leave LB altogether but apparently they got recommisioned for LB USA II. If they do do it, I hope they come with some fresh ideas because this series lacks them.

It's brilliant!
The new characters are brilliant, especially the body builders and the rude little girl with her mum. It was always going to be hard trying to please the American and British audiences at the same time, but they pull it off fantastically. It is probably their rudest collection of sketches too! I can't wait for the next series!
