the show is rubbish, but appeals to the crowd that enjoys
peep show i guess, the way you can hear their thoughts.
listening to them think starts to bug me. contrast it with the
masterful inner monologue you get in goodfellas, for instance,
and it's like night and day.
us and uk shows are different. it's complex to compare them
as they are slices of different cultures. so where the uk has
miraculous shows like have i got news for you, qi, parkinson,
dr. who, planet earth, unreported world, dispatches, grumpy
guides, top gear, and extras, in the us these never get made.
it's unimaginable at this point to think would be, and that's
a shame because we are wasting a lot of our talent and failing
to expose government/corporate hypocrisy.
in the usa, we do a good job with decadent society themed shows,
ever since a clockwork orange, hill street blues, and the bad
lieutenant set the edgy tone that wannabe movie directors would
experiment with in tv format. so you get the shield, sopranos,
and all those shows, plus west wing, 30rock, friends, battlestar,
lost, whatever. yea we both have hits, just different, with
a much bigger budget.

Quote by tussius
english shows have a way lower average quality than american
ones,
english shows especially comedies leave the american ones for dead and on the
occasion when they try to copy them like men behaving badly they make a poor
imitation!, choosing between shows like faulty towers or the nanny is really no
choice at all, the brits win hands down & all those pathetic spoof shows like
scary movie please with their huge budgets they should be better the average low
budget brit comedy or crime drama with tiny budgets by comparison are first rate
and no i am not english

look. i love my freedom of speech, so far be it from me to dictate what's
discussed on who's forum. with that said, i do believe that the forums for
individual programs would be far more useful if they acyually contained
information and opinions about said programs. there are plenty of places for
people to rant and rave about politics or to flex their ethnocentrism. i just
don't think these forums are the place for that. i don't talk politics or
religion in the workplace, and i don't shit where i eat. i love television
because it entertains me and that's all. shamed is he who bases his world
view soley on information assimilated from television and the internet. i
wouldn't assume anything about any country unless i've walked its streets or
known its people, and i could care less about what people think about mine.
move on.
