American comedies and entertainment.

Typical sweeping statement without foundation.

You stick to your high class UK programming such as Big Brother, The X
factor, Eastenders, and the crap that is called Little Britain

They've been showing previews and it looks like the real bad American
sitcoms - it's probably geared more for Americans living abroad

I've watched a few minutes of Scrubs... okay, but the rest mean
nothing to me.

Typical sweeping statement without foundation.


Accurate, concise and based soundly on fact.

factor, Eastenders,


I don't watch any of those either. That is UK dross.


and the crap that is called Little Britain


That I do watch. It is not dross though it isn't the best UK comedy
either.

Some UK programming is indeed quite dire and you gave some examples.
However nearly all US programming is dire. This is the big difference.

If their mission is to show "quality US programming" this is hardly
surprising.
