Sure there is a lot of trash on American TV.  But I have been in the UK and
seen a lot of trash on their TV channels also.

We get the best of their programming over here on PBS.

England seems to get the worst of ours.

One thing which I have never figured out is why we import US sitcoms as shown
in the US and yet when we export our sitcoms to the US, it is only the idea
which is exported, not the actual programmes as we see them here in the UK.
I'm thinking in particularly of "Steptoe & Son" which became "Sandford (& Son
?) in the States.
