I thought that show was going to be about gangsters until it became another porn series.

Interesting... I watch like, a couple american shows, but mostly British...
Big bang theory, walking dead, and Penn & Teller tell a lie are the only US shows I watch. The rest bore me.
And walking dead is now turning to crap.
Misfits is my current UK series I follow, and I recently was watching Derren Brown's shows. I just find US sitcoms boring and really not funny.

Well American tekevision used to be the best in the world. Sure you Brits had us beat in music but we were kings of television! Not anymore... Is America king of anything anymore? You know besides weapons and fat?
RE: American Television? - Dazz - 11-20-2011
Well America is still #1 in mass producing films that are internationally published - Not the best films, but lots of them that are "passable" - generally, again, I prefer british cinema, or Korean cinema.
American food is still top notch IMO because I'm a disgusting slob for food.
American pizza is usually my favourite over other countries because most places make it stonebake, but you guys like it sloppy as shit and just basically bread with meat on it.
edit: Which reminds, every now and then I'll watch Man vs. Food... That's a good show.

TV Land does last I checked.

Same. If it happens to be on I'll watch it.

Big Bang Theory is fucking awful.
RE: American Television? - Dazz - 11-20-2011
I find it hilarious. Better than any other sitcom shit that's on TV.
How I Met Your Mother is fucking awful.
RE: American Television? - Alpha Six - 11-20-2011
Yeah, it's pretty bad. It honestly jumped the shark after season 1.
RE: American Television? - Ton - 11-20-2011
I watch Community, The Office, Futurama, South Park, and I've just started The Walking Dead.
RE: American Television? - Vipershark - 11-20-2011
If you like The Office, you'll definitely like Parks and Recreation
Community is okay but it seems like kind of a lower quality ripoff of the office/parks and rec.
The new beavis and butthead show is good.
RE: American Television? - Woppet* - 11-20-2011
Besides Regular Show and occasionally South Park I don't really watch American tv at all.
When i do watch tv i usually watch Misfits, The Office, QI, Extras, Frozen Planet etc.
And unfortunately my girlfriend usually forces me to watch Eastenders (A long running British soap)
Movies are different though, there are a lot British tv shows but not that many movies. I watch a lot of American movies.

RE: American Television? - Altrez - 11-20-2011
I just got into Game of Thrones. It kicks some ass. Awesome sword fights and fun plots.
Quite a lot of sex though, not that it hurts. I might pick up the books.
RE: American Television? - Marth - 11-20-2011
I barely watch tv these days, I catch workaholics and it's always sunny early in the morning on occasion. That's about it. Oh and Colbert report and Daily show.
