So I just watched the first episodes of 24 and Prison Break. Dammit, they're good. I have a serious thing about 1-hour American Dramas...I tried explaining to the American-hating friends that I have that I do in fact, generally prefer American tv to British. They called me a traitor ;)
Lol, for the record, I don't hate Americans. I hate the American government. Somehow I doubt I'm alone in that.
I do think that there is some good British tv - anything with Ricky Gervais in generally good (The Office and Extras in particular). Have I Got News For You is a favourite. Also, classic sitcoms like Blackadder and Fawlty Towers....The British made Bridget Jones and Love Actually. Jimmy Carr is British.
But seriously. I'm addicted to American 1 hour dramas. They're just so damn good. In my humble opinion, that is. I mean, I have to watch them all on the internet, because I'm too impatient to wait for them to come out in England. Plus I hate being behind and then finding out what's gonna happen on the net -_-'
In a rough order of how good they are :)
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
LOST
Veronica Mars
The OC
The West Wing
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Desperate Housewives
Prison Break
24
One Tree Hill
Smallville
Commander in Chief
Can't think of anymore....
Btw, if Leona doesn't win X-Factor...well, goddamn, she has to. I said that last year about Andy and about Lemar in Fame Acadamy and Elliot in AI5 but....damn Leona is good. Seriously. Good.
We can only hope :)
The Fray own my soul, btw.
