Lets just say Hendrix and Hendrix's death were two equally awesome things and call it at that.

**** all except bollocks like the Jonas Brothers and Disney **** that they shove down our throats, aswell as other **** like they expect everyone else in the world to love because its from america.
They need a news flash that no one else cares about their country!

It could be blew up now and I would not care in the slightest, the only thing that would bother me is that South Park would end apart from that...

So to answer your question the Americans have given us **** all but just take take take from the UK... Just look at whats starting in America next fall.

And then they claim its there own and take our ideas and make theres sound better.

I could go on for hours but I have to get back to my Sims game.

Oh Patrick, you make it so easy to totally destroy any post you make it's almost got boring.....almost.

There's a reason why US Television tends to dominate and that's because it's popular with audiences, if it wasn't our channels simply wouldn't show them. When it comes to the entertainment industry, America's is generally the biggest, it's pretty much present in nearly all territories in the world and shows like Lost and 24 have a bigger worldwide fanbase then any UK program can ever hope to achieve. When it comes to Music and cultural influences, they've also contributed a lot.

If we were to take away everything that originated in America, chances are we wouldn't be talking right now and our lives would be quite different.

Also our shows DO get shown in America. If I recall Doctor Who, Primeval and Merlin in particular do quite well and shows like Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Shameless do well on the Showtime channel when they were shown. The reason why they remake some shows is quite simply because our cultures are quite different and the general american audience might not understand the cultural references. While most remakes are quite terrible, at the end of the day imitation is the highest form of flattery. UK drama is so good that American networks pay millions to remake our shows instead of simply showing them, That's a testament to the quality of UK shows as it would be a whole lot cheaper to show the program as is.

Finally that Sims game you're playing was made by an American company....
