I’ve been streaming it on MAX and noticed they pulled it from their catalog this past week. Did some research and apparently CBS will be showing the original British version soon in the place of the US versions time slot. The BBC version is far superior.

I’m guessing the strike is why CBS will also be airing Yellowstone.

I really like the BBC version. I like the US version just fine...but I'm looking forward to the change.

To clarify the British version will start from season one and will not include new episodes.

My fiance might hate you now for giving me more British shows to watch.

Well shite. I was excited. alajones2 and I just finished that up a few weeks ago. We do like some of the characters in the American version but the BBC one is far superior.

Yeah, I finished Season 3 on Max this month. BBC announced this summer they are ending it Season 5. Have to find Season 4 some how.

I feel like the last season of British Ghosts was a while ago. It’s funnier than the American version, though the American version was surprisingly good.

When does this begin?

I’ve heard the same thing about the British version being FAR superior and have been wanting to see it.

Found in a USA Today article: “CBS' hit comedy "Ghosts" will continue to air in repeats on Thursdays following "Young Sheldon." But fans can see the original British version of the comedy starting at 9 EST/PST, starting Nov. 16.”

I was clicking around on the cast and discovered most of the ghost characters have acted together on another BBC comedy show “Horrible Histories”. Similar to Mel Brooks’ “History of the World”. The whole cast has great chemistry together.

first heard about here on the M/TV board, the fam and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately Season 4 is nowhere to be found, at least with conventional means.

It can be found on the French video streaming site DailyMotion. We installed the app on our FireTV stick, but haven't finished the season. Have a few eps left.

Thanks! Found it. What a random app for it to be on.

Watched the British version a few years ago. Couldn't watch the American version once it aired. Just not as funny as the Brits

According to something that came up in my news feed, the BBC Ghosts S1-3 was just dropped from Max.
