Then you have infrequent posters like me who are one nationality but have
lived in other countries for significant amounts of time and have POVs which
has been influenced by such movement.
 
And, you've got to give up watching some of those American TV shows.  Some
are good but I really thought Europeans had better sense than to import
Jerry Springer, Sally Jessy, etc.  Import Oprah instead!  LOL

(who is glad Dr. Phil is back on and wants all the CSI shows too but is more
partial to some of the older British shows like Touch of Frost, Bergerac,
Inspector Morse and is enjoying Midsummer Murders and Inspector Lynley
Mysteries, even if they aren't faithful to the books.)

Oh good grief - the only reason to watch Springer is for the comedy value -
although I guess there is the superiority factor, his guests prove we
Europeans are right in our suspicions about you crazy Americans ;)

I am a crime show addict more than a US TV addict - CSI (all of them), NCIS,
Without a Trace, Law & Order (pretty much all of them too) etc etc. I love
UK crime shows too - Daziel & Pascoe, Midsummer, Inspector lynley, Frost etc
not to mention classics like The Professionals & the Sweeney. And going off
on a tangent there was a program a few weeks back about most watched TV and
their expert was talking about The Sweeney and said it had an all male
audience because it was all car chases and beating up suspects ... now
clearly this woman doesn't have eyes because it also had John Thaw and
Dennis Waterman and at the time they were considered sexy.

My rosta of crime shows is being slightly disrupted by a new addiction -
House.
