And I have to say, most of my favorite TV shows I've watched in the past year or two were all British made (or at least made somewhere in the UK or funded by the BBC).

Rome, Torchwood, Game of Thrones, Spooks (MI5), Misfits, Life on Mars (these are just the ones I have WATCHED the past 20 months).

Not that we still don't make good TV over here in North America. But most of those good shows are actually filmed in the Vancouver area (almost every show on SyFy channel, and numerous other shows). And hell, Fillion is a bloody Canadian.

Most American TV today is crap. Endless cop shows, endless medical dramas, endless reality TV shows... it never ends. There is a serious sparsity of GOOD televison being filmed in the US by US studios for US networks. A few years back that wasn't the case, but now, I don't see much good stuff coming out of my country on TV anymore.

We just don't do good television any more. Sort of like the way we are starting to slide when it comes to so many other areas (like science, industry, respecting our citizens, etc etc)

Friggin British. We bail your butts out of WWII and this is the thanks we get? :P

So let's talk about...uh...tonight's Castle? Age sure has caught up to Nathan Fillion hasn't it? Not exactly Malcom Reynolds anymore.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
