There used to be a time when I saw the word Nintendo on a box, I would get chills expecting the real deal and getting it. Now when I see it, part of me says it would be nice to come back to Nintendo and the other knows what;s in that Wii and the limits of it's power so I cannot go back.

I like those British mystery/detective shows that come on PBS here. It stars the guy who was in the latest Bond films. I think we also got a show about a chef which was OK. All other are BORING. I guess it is boring in the same way that NFL Europe is BORING.

To be fair, the Americans have sorted that out somewhat - by putting advert breaks in every 5 mins. D. > To be fair, the Americans have sorted that out somewhat - by putting > advert breaks in every 5 mins. Nah, they put in advert breaks every five minutes as most companies think the average American can't hold a attention span for more than five minutes which is really arrogant thinking on their part to be honest. Mind you, money sells over there, I'm surprised it hasn't dropped to having a break every four or three minutes yet. Could get like that though, eventually. :) Only problem is, the UK is getting to the point of having advert breaks every five minutes. Sky's the worse culprit for that one. :p SignatureSkipai > Only problem is, the UK is getting to the point of having advert breaks > every five minutes.

I've given up on most TV now over here. Too many repeats of programmes I am not interested in. Too much rubbish like Big Brother and X-Factor or American Idol or *insert some other rubbish reality show here* crap. Always seems that the more channels you get, the worse it goes to be honest. Now, if I could make it illegal to ban all quiz channels in the UK, I be even more happy. They seem to be popping up more than shopping channels lately...

In the UK only one channel shows NFL. It is Channel 5, the country's least watched TV channel, and they air it between 2am and 5am on a weekday. About 500 people watch it. NFL is NOT big over here. It's not even small. About three people understand it, whereas despite not being the majority dominant sport in the US, 'soccer' is become more widespread and popular, which is why big American sites like IGN and Gamespot have their FIFA and Winning Eleven reviews plastered on the front page, whereas a lot of UK media doesn't even bother reviewing Madden, because about ten people buy it and it's not worth their while. Where on earth have you got this idea from that *anyone* outside the US watches NFL? In the US MLS top division alone there are 12 matches a week each with an average attendance of around 18,000. That's 216,000 a week attending in the stadia, not including those who watch the game on TV. The games shown on ESPN2 get an audience of around 350,000, whereas the big cup ties show on ABC get between 800,000 and 1.4 million viewers. These figures do not take international matches or foreign leagues into account.

Our channels are in local metro areas, not national. Your country is so small so I guess it's that way. About 500 people watch it. NFL is NOT big over here. See dude, I never said the NFL as a whole, I said the Super Bowl! That is a game that people in this country watch even if they never saw a regular season game. I never understood that, but that is the way it is. It's not > even small. About three people understand it, whereas despite not being > the majority dominant sport in the US, 'soccer' is become more widespread > and popular, I live here. No one except foreieners like it or even know what it is about. You guys love it because it is all that you have. We hate it because it is boring and we have all of our others sports. We also have such a large country with at least 200 cities of large size in order to have many teams. Even Canada does not have that. That is why their CFL has only 8 teams and it is hard for them to find other places to put teams in because of their lack of many large cities. which is why big American sites like IGN and > Gamespot have their FIFA and Winning Eleven reviews plastered on the front > page, Uh, no. They are new games. Those games are not exactly large sellers here you know. The next-gen soccer games do look nice, but the game is boring.

Now how many shows of yours can we name? When it comes to the arts, the British suck at that. James Bond is the only decent film that you can make. I guess taking over people's countries is all that you guys know about. --- That's because US TV censors or restricts most of what's available. Ever seen a 9/11 joke on TV over there? - they're plentiful here. Did you ever notice that a chunk of your movies are made by foreigners? Didn't think so?

I take umbrage at that, despite being British myself. Some of the best comedies in the last few years have been from over the pond. ie My Name is Earl The War at Home Scrubs Malcolm in the Middle not to mention Friends! Then there are the great animated series: The Simpsons Futurama Family Guy American Dad King of the Hill and South Park! What surprises me is how popular The Office became. It's what we call 'cringe making' comedy, where a situation has been deliberately set up to be really embarassingly awkward for someone. Do you Yanks understand 'Extras' (by Ricky Gervais), and I don't just mean the episodes with US actors in it. Do you understand the situations with British-known-only actors in it? >>> > Actually, their humour is excellent, and they don't take themselves >>> > too seriously.

Oh come on, the Simpson's should've stopped about 10 seasons ago, it's really long in the tooth, lame, etc now... But it brings in the cash so I can't see it stopping. I've stopped watching it though, not as funny as it used to be. SignatureSkipai >>> > Actually, their humour is excellent, and they don't take themselves >>> > too seriously.

My impression is that the US military is still sort of oriented towards full scale balls-to-the-wall cold war style conflict (despite recent attempts to shift their focus a bit), whereas Britain has a lot of experience with low-intensity "delicacy required" conflict due to Northern Ireland, and their military culture is well adapted to it. -miles SignatureYo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down. >> Actually, the UK troops in Iraq managed to handle situations that went >> out of hand for the US troops.
