Is it just me? I've beem trying to find great english speaking series to watch, and so far it's a dud.

Fawlty Towers -old
Doctor Who -sucks
Torchwood - sucks
Monty Python -old
Yes Minister -sucks
Blackadder - old and sucks
Spooks - so so
Foyle's War -old and so so

Here we have ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, USA, CW, TBN, USA, PBS, HBO, SHO, and a dozen other networks all putting out at least one or more good shows.

You've got what... BBC and two channels replaying soccer matches?

What gives? do you guys just get our old stuff?

About 5 years ago I had to spend a week in England on business. In the evenings at the hotel I would turn on the TV and set back to relax.

Man!! they have the most boring programs in the world. It is terrible.

Now I know why everyone there goes to the Pub every evening.

Yes minister is one of the best programs ever!

Wow, what a letdown, I was hoping there were dozens if not hundreds of great shows from engish speaking countries out there, and somehow I just wasn't findind them.

I knew the U.S. led the world in hollywood movies, I didn't know the same went for TV shows as well. ;(

It's a cultural thing. I have the same problem when I'm in the States, the broadcast tv is crap but at least there's cable and that has some good stuff on it.

No, American TV with some exceptions is atrocious. Bittorrent and British trackers has made TV worth watching again.

I must say I like American SF. "Above and Beyond" was a great series and should never have been cancelled.

The best stuff on tv here is British, some of our own stuff is good, a lot of it is crap. Much of the stuff on our free to air channels is crap. Except the football, they do that well.

Joe move to GB and show them how it's done. You can do a show about an Irish Mob or something.
