After finding out what you thought about us as people (overall pretty bad) I was wondering what you thought of our television. Over here we have grown up with US TV.... Sesame Street, Dallas, Friends, Lost, ER, Hill Street Blues, Twin Peaks, etc. The list really is endless.
I just wanted to know what English programmes have Americans enjoyed.......if any.
Cheers

How about what a Canadian thinks of English television? I love it! Monty Python is great, love those clever English comedies such as Keeping Up Appearances, Absolutely Fabulous and the such. I am now living in Europe and am adoring the show Nighty Night and some other comedy (never got the name) with a comedian who plays a ton of different characters including a red head (or ginger) who goes to a "Ginger refuge". Hilarious!!!

When I was in the US I didn't find any UK programmes although I did see adverts for Newcastle Brown Ale which was a bit surreal
menina - you're thinking of the catherine tate show - its amazing!
