On Twitter, when I asked him it must be hard to be in a scene and have to NOT see all those other people in the scene with him, he responded and said yes that was the toughest part.
I got a response from Asher Grodman also, no pants, on instagram about something.
They are doing the best they can with the characters and writing they have, the BBC version is better, as usual.
Think of it this way, compare it to the HIT on CBS "The Neighborhood", pure drivel but a hit!

It's been on CBS every Thursday night at 9 just like clockwork.
Which is nice because I've been able to catch some episodes I missed. They just repeated the Pilot episode last week. Although with Summer programming getting fired up that might change. Check your local listings...

Update: just checked and it's moving to 8:30 this Thursday because Big Brother is on at 9.

(32,536 posts)Primarily because of the caveman character Who is played by Laurence Ricard who also plays the role of Humphrey the beheaded guy.
I think the CBS version blew it with the Viking character which I dont find all that funny but overall the show is pretty good for an American sitcom.
If you havent seen the British version its on HBO Max, it really is brilliant.
Lets face it folks, when an American Network does come up with a reasonably good show which this certainly is it needs to be supported so they will get the message what shows are good and what shows are not.

(1,407 posts)This weeks episode of Ghosts is a reminder that the series is at its heart a love letter to the original BBC Ghosts series.
Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) and Nigel (John Hartman)s conflict this week also reminds the audience that our common histories outweigh our cultural and political differences. Sam (Rose McIver) informs both of them that the bitter divide between the American colonists and the British was left behind after the Revolutionary War. In a way, their conflict is also a reminder to the fandom that theres plenty of room to appreciate both series of Ghosts.
While Issac and Nigel debate the merits of the Stamp Act, a documentary television crew from the in-universe series Dumb Deaths wants to highlight Petes (Richie Moriarty) archery accident. Sam and Jay agree to the film crew taking over Woodstone Manor because they want to advertise the history of the house to potential guests. Pete overhears the documentarians discussing how they believe alcohol influenced his death. He doesnt want his relatives to see him portrayed that way. UK series fans will also recognize the documentary recreating the death of a ghost plot but the setup and payoff is tailored to fit Petes character development.
Mathew Baynton plays an over-the-top British method actor cast as Pete in the documentary. This is also the first time hes playing a living as he plays Thomas Thorne in the UK series, a poet who failed to achieve stardom. Thomas died about 50 years after Issac and Nigel in the mid-1820s. He is also known for acting in and producing Horrible Histories and several other U.K. comedy series. Baynton spoke to Den of Geek about what it was like to film the U.S. series as a U.K. writer and actor, his thoughts on adapting the Ghosts concept to the United States, and why American Ghosts fans should sample U.K. Ghosts if they havent already...
