Q: Have they ever tried remaking the British sitcom "Yes Minister?" I loved that show.

The adaptations have gotten looser, but the DNA of "Yes Minister" has continued all the way into the recently departed HBO comedy "Veep."

"Yes Minister," a satire of backroom British politics, ran from 1980 to 1988 (though two of those seasons were called "Yes, Prime Minister," to reflect the lead character's promotion to the top job -- note that "Veep's" title character got a similar promotion, but the show didn't change names).

Gran Torino, on AMC

An angry Korean War veteran (Clint Eastwood) begins to develop a relationship with his Hmong American neighbors after thwarting their son’s attempt to steal his most prized possession – a ’72 Ford Gran Torino – in this critically acclaimed drama.
