I saw the trailer for this and am afraid it didn't seem a patch on the marvellous British version. Some things just don't translate so well but I'll definitely give it a watch - you never know, might be pleasantly surprised.

Am hopeful it will be watchable. Simon, Martha, Jim, Mat, Lawrence and Ben are all listed as executive producers.I saw the trailer for this and am afraid it didn't seem a patch on the marvellous British version.

Executive Producer doesn't always mean much, especially when it comes to American TV.
I love Rose McIver but not convinced
Afraid so. It's just a courtesy.
It's already on iPlayer!!
I just noticed and have watched 3 or 4 episodes. Don't love it. It's definitely not as bad as I was expecting though. It's barely funny.
Watching the first episode. It's painful. It's not good.
My son and I have just watched the first 3 episodes of the US version. We weren't keen on episode one but by the end of episode 3 we thought it was ok and will watch the rest. Nothing will beat the original Ghosts
I'm sure I'll end up watching all of the US version and barely enjoying it, but I'm a completionist and am entertained by seeing how they attempt to translate all my favourite plot points and character arcs 
18 episodes in series 1 of Ghosts US! 
What do we get? 6 episodes per series?

The American way, quantity not quality. It's like it for every show, comedy or drama. We get 6 episodes they get 14-20 for a drama and 16-24 for comedy.18 episodes in series 1 of Ghosts US!

Only watched the first episode but not impressed so far. There are too many ghosts and none of them has much personality. It's like watching a bunch of people wearing costumes to a party. It's very rushed; they've crammed two original episodes into one that last about 20 minutes. And it's just not funny!
I've watched all the US episodes online and I quite enjoyed it. Different enough to the UK one to not compare them. It's typically American though with a moral to every story and a lesson learned every week!
We’ve given it a go. I found the first couple of episodes a bit ‘meh’ but I’m prepared to stick with a bit longer to see if it develops a decent rhythm. I wasn’t keen on the American version of The Office until it grew into its own version.
That said, the ‘Mike’ actor (Jay, is it?) is not a good actor at all.

This might fill the gap ( no matter how rubbish) of something we all watch as a family, as Ghosts was.
Us too - my kid thinks it is OK but inferior
I've watched a couple more episodes. It's a bit better when you figure out who's who and don't try to equate them to their original characters but it's still not particularly funny. There are too many ghosts. The hippy and the native American seem a bit pointless.
