Short-lived shows that were rebooted
Blanquepage:
Can we count the ones born in the US, but rebooted elsewhere? Call My Bluff lasted only 6 months here, but ran in the UK for nearly 40 years!
Shoot For the Stars came back as Double Talk, and then of course there was Second's Chance's more renowned second chance.

I'll allow it; IIRC it also came back as Take My Word For It. That might be its own thread too...flopped here but thrived overseas over vice versa.

Oh My Word was the one that came back as Take My Word For It, I will say thought I enjoyed the 2 local episodes circulating of OMW far more than Call My Bluff. Hoping more of it surfaces sometime.
Mike Tennant:
As long as we're going the international route, there's also Catch Phrase: 4 months stateside, almost 30 years (over 2 versions) and counting in the U.K., and 6 years in Australia.
Eric Paddon:
Wasn't "Ruckus" a reimagining of Merv's short-lived 1967 show "Reach For The Stars?"
