Huh? Are you talking about the world hating the UK because of that tv show. Don't believe that for a minute. The UK produces excellent quality tv programming, imo a lot better than some of the crap US studios put out.

Nothing will match Top Gear(UK version), my favorite show.

I stay away for the most part from US television shows, except news. I prefer cable channels like Discovery, Smithsonian Channel, NatGeo, etc.

Reality tv just stinks.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you able to expound?

I do like what the UK did with "their" version of the wildly popular US series, "Friends." "Coupling" is one of my favorite UK sitcoms.

I specifically remember friends in Germany asking why Married With Children was popular.

I haven't owned a television since I moved out on my own in 2002 I can't stand reality TV. It's horrific, absolutely awful...
