I don't think it's that anyone assumes Americans won't understand the dry humour. I think it's more that there is an assumption that Americans may prefer something they can more closely relate to. We do it here too, make tv shows of our own based on an American tv show premise. But, we are more used to watching American TV as a staple than Americans may be used to watching Brit Tv as a staple, so it's less of a problem for us to relate to it....we're trained from an early age to watch American TV :P
