Don't expect a lawsuit. A US court doesn't have jurisdiction over a French TV show and there's no reason to think a French court will rule in favor of a US show or network. CBS lawyers would have to show/prove that the French show has damaged the US show in order to stop the imitation. Since there is, at best, a tiny overlap of audiences, that's pretty much impossible to prove. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
