ABC Is Ready to Tackle Footballers' Wives
Per Variety, ABC has greenlit a pilot for a U.S. adaptation of the U.K. hit Footballers' Wives, and even has X-Men's Bryan Singer — whose last TV pilot was House — loosely attached to direct.
In its American incarnation, Wives will be set in the world of pro football rather than that "other" football, soccer, yet promises to retain its over-the-top frothiness. Also in the U.S. version: more-conspicuous dental hygiene.

I always assumed that the CW comedy "The Game" was a remake of Footballers' Wives. Guess I was wrong.

I am a fan of Footballers Wives on the BBC network,this show is so over the top,I don't think ABC will even come close to matching it with all the censorship we have here in the states.

I'm a huge fan of the BBC's Footballer's Wives. The topics that they cover could never be translate onto American tv. Do we not remember the Coupling debacle?

The NFL will never allow this new "Footballers Wives'.
After all they got ESPN to pull PLAYMAKERS a few years back.
Playmakers was down right real...sex & drugs and other things like Footballers Wives is noted for.
