The Internet is great because you get to see the best bits of the American shows. Excluding ads the three main networks and Conan on TBS put out about 10 new hours of Material a week. (there are a lot of reruns so that figure might be generous) I would say a Hour is great entertainment, another 4 hours is okay as background TV and the rest can be awful to watch. I would be a big fan of Stephen Colbert but some of his shows are terrible. You see sketches on all of them that would never make it to Air in the UK but they go out because that's all they have and time is tight.
Every once and a while however there is something special that airs and that gives you the youtube gold moment, but there are not as many as you would think.
I think ITV could do the same with someone like Bradley Walsh but it would take real commitment, investment and a LOT of writers to do it. I doubt the bean counters want to take any risk.
