I knew about Ghosts... I think they maybe aired a few of the UK episodes at
one point on CBS.  I've not heard of High Potential.

I guess one of the more famous ones of recent memory is The Office.  ;)
It started out as a UK show, which begat a US show, and the two of them
have begat several additional versions in other countries.
