Tip of the iceberg. They showed The Avengers and The Prisoner in their original format. Other than that, I can't think of much (except on BBC, obviously.)

We export our culture. Our shows and movies are shown world-wide. But TPTB assume we don't want to be contaminated by having to watch any other country's exports. And it tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. They never get shown here so most people never develop a taste for them. Their loss.

ETA: Here you go. I wouldn't really count reality shows. Most country have their own versions of Dancing with the Stars. People like seeing local people compete. But we also don't import scripted TV.
List of American television series based on British television series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That opens up another whole can of worms, best left alone, so I won't make the comment that comes to mind. :(

A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.


Please do not edit your pick posts.

If someone already took your number, or an error was made, please wait for a helper to post the error. Please "Reply With Quote" to the helper's post with your new pick.



A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.

Rounds may last anywhere from 16 seconds to 36 hours based solely on our whim. There are no rules. Life is unfair. Good luck!

We call it a "reset" when we go into a new round. You still keep all of your previous picks. If you miss a round you do not get to back and make up picks. You can make 1 set of picks for the current round ONLY

The game ends when the sheet is filled. We then announce the winning pick.

Play to win! There will be no PIFing of number picks. The winner of any contest can PIF the prize if they choose to do so Here.

ALL Birthday Poopies will get additional picks on their ECF listed Birthday :w00t: (1 birthday per year please :D)

Theses aren't rules. They are guidance. And they may change at any time. Without prior notice. Maybe even without ensuing notice.

I'm often amazed by the shows that I've loved which have been canceled, or in the case of Red Dwarf, never had a chance. I can't follow the reasoning. I don't know if they're too cerebral for the masses, or if they get too close to some kind of truth.

It doesn't seem to always be based on ratings. Plus, they'll do things like move a show around on air day and time slots to mess people up, making room for something new, thinking that folks who like it will follow the changes. Then they put it in the Friday Kill slots. TV shows are based on the money they make from commercials. If you have a popular show, why mess with success?

I'm going to bite my tongue as to why on that cause it boiled down to politics. I won't post my thought on that subject.

Not sure what you mean by that. Red Dwarf went on for 10 series (seasons in the US). Unless you mean the American version, but that one was just horrible so it never made the air. I mean... they made Rimmer COOL. Really?!?
