My mantra is "Must have a plot!" Hubby knows that I'm tolerant of his news addiction, but I'm not going to be happy with:
* reality shows (including the "talent" shows)
* slasher-type horror movies
* more than 2 hours of "educational" programs

Fortunately we agree on most shows, including Dr. Who. It's going to be a bleak year with only 4 new episodes as they transition to the next Doctor.

Funny, my wife just informed me that maybe you can imagine. I hear that you have Britain's Got Talent. Lucky you.

Are you referring to David Elevennant?

I hate how by living in the states we have to wait years for the quality programming to make it across the pond.

BTW anyone else hear about Sci-Fi become SyFy, I can't express how stupid I think this is!

I almost missed it myself. Didn't know it was airing until I casually flipped to the channel.

Well if you must see it, and if you hurry, you could probably catch it on YouTube.

Oh and just a heads up, but Planet of the Dead is scheduled to air on July 26th (on BBC America).

It works both ways. It generally takes years for quality drama from the US to make it here to the UK.

Yes unfortunately we do - another reason I am glad I only have a TV for watching DVDs and no way to receive "broadcast" TV.

(Its bad enough watching the internet re-runs on the office TV over lunch - I must remember to nick the remote and hide it)

The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and the BBC must have some kind of exchange system in place, both being national Corporations.

Our Dr. Who's seem to be pretty well up-to-date as well as the latest round of Marple, which we get well before PBS does.

BBC Canada was a bit dissapointing though. Some great shows but often out of date. I even got into East Enders for a while, due to the lack of any decent local programming in that time slot, and it was 2 years behind the UK.

Having access to CBC, BBC, BBC Canada, HBO and Showtime puts us in a very good situation when it comes to being up-to-date on a lot of TV shows. Then again, who watches TV anymore.

It is strange flipping through HBO and seeing a Canadian production that is a few years old and not even showing in Canada any more.

WDE.

To name a few US series that I've enjoyed very much in recent years:

The West Wing
Lost
The Wire
24
CSI

There are many more, but those stick in my mind particularly.

Firefly
Dark Angel
