Britain does have some of my favourite shows, Thin Blue Line, The Office and recently My Family, even if only for the sarcastic dad and the oldest son who seems to start a new business every day. Though Britain does do bland very well too, but probably not quite to the same shitness that is Will and Grace. And can I get a fuck yeah for Only Fools and Horses?

I like bits and pieces from both places, I love the British comic geniuses such as Ricky Gervais and Derick Haig, but I also love the American style of "piss taking", always entertaining when done well.
yeah, i was into "Jackass" when I was like 12, but i now agree its utter fertilizer. So have you ever seen "Arrested Development"? Its by far the best show on american television (with the exception of pro wrestling of course)
