American sitcoms are far better than the UK's in my opinion. Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family are far better than stuff we've produced. I know a lot of people won't agree with that but I'd take those shows over Fawlty Towers, The Office, Only Fools and Horses etc any day |

And as for Breaking Bad and Deadwood which you neglect to comment on - astonishing TV. |

Those few shows do not outweight the idiocy of American television and its far from superior, I haven't seen tv worst than american. Its a dumbed down ideology. If there is one place and one place only that I find the tv well done it The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. |
I think the reason we, as in from the UK, rate US tv highly is the same reason British shows gain a north American audience, and thats because we only see the cream of the crop in each case. |
We had a show about dogging on TV last night, this argument is void :coolblue: |
jerry Springer Judge Judy Morton Downey Jr Show Geraldo Pink Lady and Jeff Marvin marvin Cop Rock Viva laughlin(yes they actually tried to do Blackpool) Couplings(American version) Liz and Dick(worst tv movie ever made) Checkmate..and thats but a few. Demdike had the truest post on this thread. We usually only see the best of each others programming. I'm from canada and we grew up with a mixture of British and American TV and what little Canadian content we had when I was a kid. I never felt my intelligence insulted when watching british tv. The reason American shows that are written even remotely smart get such press is because there are so many very very mind numbingly bad programs. |

Just have a try at the pilot for the TV series version of Zombieland and try to honestly say that US TV is superior :pound: |
