Have you ever tried to watch them on American TV? American TV is unwatchable, too many adverts, too many breaks in programmes.
Also how many of those programme you list are on the subscription channel HBO?

I've be to the US so often but I really hate thewir networks. We may call our networks a lot of the time but when you see the US networks one can see that yes we have dumbed down but the US market is so purile it is just unwatchable.
The only networks I tend to bother with nowadays, when I go, are PBS (esp for BBC News and Business Report) and HBO as well as FOX World Sports - for the live Premiership action!!!
