I just wanted to bring this up because I was thinking about it (after watching the leaked clip of Craig Ferguson’s cold open for his Doctor Who episode): America had a version of Doctor Who that fairly well captured the ideals of the British original, but also catered to American sensibilities (namely: not liking history, liking explosions).
It was called MacGyver.

“Sonic” is just what they call duct tape in England, anyway.
