I remember hearing on a podcast with Kaitlin Olson and Mary Lynn Rajskub that they were writing their own sketches, but Fox told them to copy the UK sketches directly which lead to everything being lost in translation. It sounded like a miserable experience for the cast since they filmed most of the outdoors scenes in the cold and rain. With funny and creative comedians like Kaitlin, Mary Lynn, and Paul F. Tomkins on the cast it would've been good if they were allowed to do their own thing.

When UK shows are adapted by the US frequently they fail really quickly and the actors in the original series are offered absurd amounts of money to participate. This is what happened with the US "version" of Red Dwarf. So Lee Mack was probably expecting to film a pilot that sucked, then go home with a full wallet. That's my guess anyway.
