And when you look at other genre shows and television in general our Tv schedules are packed with US shows. Many of which are great and are my favourites.
But how many Brit shows are big in America?
The Office, Life on Mars, Skins? Only popular because Hollywood remade them.
We buy them as they are, America make their own. Which is probably a good thing really.

Oh you're talking about showing our own versions? Ok well thats different. But these US shows only get shown on minor TV channels here not the biggies. It's a relatively small audience. America makes 50 times more TV shows than us so they really don't need to import foreign talent shows.
