BBC in the USA

I was just wondering what the standard American view of the BBC was.

Do they think it's very posh and boring and what is their view of things like walking with dinosaurs and the new BBC News look?

I have a few friends in America who watch BBC America religiously. Looking at the schedules though, it doesn't seem that great. It seems to show Hard Talk an awful lot for some reason...

These days it's also showing 'So Graham Norton', hardly a BBC masterpiece, is it? Well of course it isn't since it's a Channel 4 programme but I guess the Americans don't know that...

Most americans i have spoken to on the internet (not you sub zero nick ) love the small amount of BBC programmes they get- as they are made so much better than american programmes - but they do get the pick of the best ones. americans also seem to love an english accent. Strange....

I love BBC AMERICA. It doesn't have the baloons though, it has the british flag onto a tongue, and it's kind of Grange Hillish, as the picture is baclk and white - with only the british flag being in color. Well, last time I saw it it was like that.
I live in Leeds, and America (Boston) you see. (wierd family - don't ask!)

What do the americans think of So Graham Norton, because there usualy the but of his phone calls?
BBC America have a lot of channel4 programes on it, so is it ment to be the best of british television?

They love Graham Norton, and all English Comedy.
Americans have stolen Tracy Ullman from UK though, which is bad for english as she is FANTASTIC comedian, my favourite
