The stars of Spaced reunited
"Our show doesn't feel dated like Friends."
Hadley Freeman, The Guardian, 11th January 2020Why they don't make comedies like Spaced anymore
One answer lies in the question asked, year after year, by fans of the show desperate for another fix: what happened to that third series? Hynes, Pegg and Wright let us down as gently as they could, but the truth is that times - and people - change.

Ben Allen, Radio Times, 29th May 2019The Top 10 British sitcoms of the 90s
The 1990s were a period of renewed confidence in the UK. The economy continued to boom and Blair's huge majority made 'Cool Britannia' a phenomenon. Oasis and Blur fought it out as most influential band, and the Spice Girls were everywhere. What a time to be alive! Sitcoms didn't disappoint either, and offered a rich variety.
Greg Jameson, Entertainment Focus, 13th May 201912 Disastrous US remakes of British Sitcoms
Some things are just uniquely suited to a time and a place. The idea of remaking anything to fit another culture is thankfully becoming more of an outdated concept. Unfortunately, in the past, American TV producers have repeatedly tried and failed to remake many of our beloved British sitcoms.
