[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438264, member: 5079"] There's a saying in America that might not mean much to you: "We have McDonald's at home." I could modify that here and say, "We have Hollywood at home". Without devaluing the quality and quantity of other countries' entertainment industries, Hollywood has been the dominant source of movies and TV for the past century. Many Americans probably don't feel the need to seek out anything else. In my younger days, I was disinterested in British TV for a reason already covered: the short seasons. Watching a TV show with 7 episodes per season felt like sitting down for dinner and only getting an appetizer. Now, I consider a season of more than 10 episodes to be onerous. So, I should probably poke around some British TV shows. I mean, worse case I'm on the hook for, what?, 30 episodes of a long running Brit show? It's not like when you started MTM and found yourself down a path of 200+ episodes. Oh, and I've seen some clips of LITTLE BRITAIN that made me laugh till my sides hurt. So I guess there's that.
