Television in your Country
It's funny to me that some of the Brits here visited my Fox News thread when there is no way they can understand my comedy or the outrageousness of that channel.
What is TV like in countries other than the US?
We have some British TV on Public Broadcasting, like Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and in the past have had Prime Suspect (great) and some comedies like Fawltey Towers and The Chef.
Because of the great number of Latinos here, we have tons of Spanish shows, none of which I can understand.
If you pay extra on Cable you can get many foreign speaking channels.
I pay $140/mo for TV/internet/phone. I have like 300 channels, Showtime, Cinemax.
When in Europe I saw R-rated Baywatch, lots and lots of track and field. I have a hunch English is becoming the Universal language because of TV shows like The Big Bang Theory and reruns of movies like Pulp Fiction. N'est pas?

One of America's biggest export, Entertainment. It so weird when I went to another country and had a high probability of watching my fav american show in that country.

Re: Television in your Country
How do you guys find it when you come to the UK where we have a lot of channels which have no commercials and you can sit back and watch an hour or more uninterrupted?
I find that when I'm in the US I lose it after half an hour because of the damn commercials every 6 minutes or so.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

Re: Television in your Country
Even pay cable is full of commercials, radio too. Now you can watch major network shows from last week with no commercials On Demand (on the net too)
If you want HDTV on a couple of sets, that's 20 bucks. Showtime and HBO show the same movies over and over.
Do you guys just have BBC or what? All I remember in London was a weatherman on a tiny concrete island shaped like Britain.

Re: Television in your Country
How can we not understand it ?? Its the same as the s*n paper and the rest of newscrop shite, maybe its just we have done these jokes about 20 years ago, before he bought FOX;- )
What we dont probably understand is the technical aspects of the gag like who the blokes are, the actual delivery of the news is well practised and we've been LOL'ing at it for a long time, well apart from the 3million brain dead people who buy a copy of the s*n every day.

Re: Television in your Country
Blimey, mate $140 is £91 and a few pence! I pay £15 a month for a mobile phone/internet package and as I don't yet get a tv signal (I live in a dip but my landlord is working on it so I can watch the Euros -the soccer not the currency) I watch programmes on iPlayer, which means The Apprentice as I don't watch anything else, because there really isn't anything worth seeing. A monthly tv licence works out at around £10-11 so I would end up paying around £25 still substantially less than you -same, even if I buy a black box for another £15 and I also get access to hundreds of channels, but what for I do not know. I watched Sargent Bilko and I Love Lucy in the 1960s, but American tv has gone downhill since then, n'est-ce pas?

Re: Television in your Country
I live in two places, I begrudgingly pay SKY up north as only way to get footy, dont use SKY net thats noobish, got a seperate isp/dsl (20 meg dsl, 2.5meg up - used to be fast dated now, add it all up am paying £95 + BT Line rental. Got Virgin in the other place. Paying about £105 for virgin , thats phone , usual channels + sports, cable (50meg) umm yes.. virgins the better deal it seems but they still throttle stuff at peaks time, my DSL does not suffer from this.......... waiting for BT Infinity still :O
Ok boring rant over.
x
I just hate the way Murdoch has such a monopoly over our football coverage and BT for being so random with rolling stuff out, my shithole "hometown" has bt infinity where we are lucky to afford a bag of crisps, the nice posh little town 3 miles away that i moved to.. (ironically its exchange upgraded to the 20meg technology much quicker) is still not available. bah
ok rant really over now.

Re: Television in your Country
I'm curious....no really I am , but between your TV obsession, and time spent on here....is there enough free time left for any other things?
I know a guy who watches the Travel Channel and he's convinced himself and others that he's actually been to these places when in fact he seldom leaves his run down apartment. Probably not too different than somebody who watches too much porn while his wife is out "shopping" ( for another dick), or plays video games and thinks he's the Navy Seal. It's displaced reality. Be careful of that channel changer dude....it can be ruinous. lol
