What TV shows that are not of American production do you watch?

I don't think any.

I don't think I watch any non-American TV shows with any regularity.

I love the wwe and they're broadcast all over the world...wooooooooooooo!

Only 'Monarch of the Glen'. I used to watch 'Road to Avonlea', but then it got boring. YOu see here in Canada, I can only think of like three Canadian TV shows... Oh, I would be watching 'Terra Nova', too, but it's not in English.

Since I don't have cable I'm only able to watch a few Britcoms on PBS, "Keeping Up Appearances", "My Hero" and "Bless Me Father".

I don't watch any American TV shows with any consistency, although we are without doubt saturated with them in the UK. Especially on satellite TV. In fact there's only one show I can think of that is must see for me at the moment, and that's "Phoenix Nights".

Counting only shows I've recently seen on cable rather than bought on DVD, there's some Japanese animation (Dragonball Z, Dirty Pair, Yuyu Hakusho), some British shows (The Avengers, Monty Python, Yes, Minister), and does Farscape count?

I don't watch TV.

Since I like news and documentaries, almost all I watch are Australian or British. When I had cable I never watched US news channels because that's all they showed, US news. I mean when that bomb went off in the crowd at the Atlanta Olympics that's all CNN showed for 2 days! BBC World and Sky show news from everywhere. I also enjoy comedy, and these tend to be American. I like Raymond and Frasier, Becker is OK, old Seinfeld episodes, The Simpsons and Just Shoot Me. US comedy has certainly improved since the days of Family Ties! I don't watch any US drama at all. I tend to watch British dramas if I ever do since they are more gritty and real.

I watch Japanese cartoons in the USA like Yu-Gi-Oh and Dragon Bal GT.

I live in Costa Rica, which has exactly four local channels--and every single minute of the programming is hysterically tacky. So I hardly don't watch it, except when one of my friends has a commercial or something. I used to watch this lovely, high-quality primetime soap opera from Colombia called "La Baby Sister" but it ended in June. I miss it every day, which says something for what kind of person I am Disney bought the rights and if you have some kind of cable you could probably catch a glimpse of it sometime.

Since the 'what shows of USA production do you watch' applies to me...my current favorites are "Six Feet Under" and "Sex and the City". Also "Friends" (which everyone watches...reruns air on two different channels every day on basic cable and there are few teenagers who don't know most of the scripts from old episodes by heart), "Scrubs", "That 70's Show" and "Smallville".

BTW: Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor from "Smallville"), Ashton Kutcher, Kelly Hiu and Carmen Electra were here over the weekend for the opening of some casino. My friends saw them in a mall and I slept late and didn't meet them...I could've gotten Ashton's autograph! Argh!!! That makes me sound like a total "Tiger Beat" subscriber but it's just that so few celebrities come here...and less bands on tour. Although Red Hot Chili Peppers are giving a concert here on October 2nd (God bless their hearts) and I can guarantee that more than three quarters of the entire population ages 13-25 will turn out.

Can't think of any. When I had my shortwave radio, I listened to BBC a lot and loved it.

Don't know any...

Hmm.....that's hard. I don't like most Canadian shows, and I'm not exposed to much else. I watch S Club 7 sometimes, and I think that's british.

Red Dwarf and The Dark Ages from across the and, and Red Green from north of the border.

I used to watch Kids in the Hall.

Boy those Canadians, I gotta tell ya. Well, now I have a reason to like them. A lot of people make fun of them (including me, but I am only joking around though), but they're allright with me.

oh yeah, Dragon Ball Z, I forgot to mention that too.

I guess then the Japanese are allright in my book too.

Media watch http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/

ABC News http://www.abc.net.au/news/

I watch BBC every once in a while. I'm not big on the sitcoms, though. I love watching Changing Rooms. I also watch the American version that comes on TLC called Trading Spaces.

None that I know of.

As far as I know all the shows that I watch (and there are not that many) are made in the states.

Frasier, Six Feet Under, Will & Grace, Friends, Charmed, Sex & The City, Fresh Prince, Star Trek New Generation, Smallville.

Funnily enough I have just listed my favourite programmes. Brit TV is so crap sometimes.

British news are much better then American. I like BBC, they inform nicely and I like listening to British accent. Also, non-American programs are far less agressive.

Ummm... Antiques Roadshow (it's better to watch the UK version cuz the stuff is usually much older)... and I think that's it.

Changing Rums? I like it okay.. but TLC's is better.

My parents watch Antiques Roadshow, as they're both avid collectors. The oldest thing the have is a 2500 year old clay dish (from Egypt I believe). I have to admit that I only watch it for those precious moments when some snooty old madam's face drops to the floor when she gets told that her prized possession is actually part of a set and not worth much on its own (or even better, that its fake) .

I like the little old ladies that almost faint when they hear that something is worth a lot.

I don't watch television. I live in Canada.

Ab Fab, Manchild, used to watch The Two Fat Ladies, Iron Chef, Kids in the Hall and Twitch City

I agree. I watch BBC News whenever I can, which sadly is only on weekdays on PBS12 at 5 PM MST.

Oh, I also love "Will And Grace". I think I fell off the sofa howling when Jack was in heaven with Cher.

I got BBC world on 114'the channel. I dind't even know we have it.

Yeah, I like Trading Spaces on TLC better, too. But, I like to watch Changing Rooms once in a while.

I don't live in America but almost everything that I watch is American. We get a lot of the best stuff imported (and some utter drivel too! I saw an episode of the Fawlty Towers remake - Payne - and it was appallingly bad!!!). I watch the West Wing, Six Feet Under, Stargate: SG1, etc.....

I'm struggling to think of British programmes that I watch. Mainly current affairs (the news - especially the BBC's News at Ten and C4's 7pm broadcast, programmes like Newsnight occasionally) and documentaries. The odd one-off short series. At the moment, Britain really doesn't do long series very well - there's the soaps (which are crap - except for Night and Day which isn't really a soap at all and that I have a certain fondness for - I wish I'd seen it from the start). I still watch The Bill despite it's descent into soapiness and the use of daft storylines to grab viewers (a recent kiss between two male officers in uniform got 300 complaints - great publicity.....) I can't think of anything else that I currently watch that isn't American. Even Farscape is made by an American team isn't it?

You can actually *bear* to watch "My Hero"? Did you ever see any episodes of Father Ted? Ardal O'Hanlon was brilliant in that!

I've watched a few episodes of "My Hero", but it's not my favorite. We haven't got "Father Ted" on PBS yet. "Keeping Up Appearances" is still my favorite!

Poor Canada...no TV!

I heard that Celine Dion had one, but that might just be a rumour...

Ummm...I can't think of their names right now, but I've seen a few. My Mom watches a few British shows..reminding her of "home", I'm sure. "Upstairs Downstairs" is one of them..I'll get back to you on some more later. Oh yeah, and "Keeping Up Appearances".

So, do you watch hockey on the radio then? eh?

I wish our local Public Broadcasting Station still carried reruns of "Upstairs Downstairs" as I really loved that show. Also I liked "The Line Blue Line", "Mr. Bean" and "Black Adder" (all starring Rowan Atkinson).

How do you expect us to have TV in Canada when there's no electricity. Nor running water, either. And we keep beavers as our pet.

Hey...did you steal those beavers from Oregon?

::ashemed:: Yes.

Well...givem back! They're our state animal ya know!

Definitely keep an eye out for Father Ted, but most of the shows you've mentioned sound like BBC ones and Father Ted wasn't

I will.

I'm really not much of a sports guy. I have an appreciation for hockey, but purely as a form of patriotism. I'd much rather play a sport than watch others play it...not that I do that much either...

When it comes to sports, I'm a viewer not a doer and there aren't many sports that interest me.

I used to play on the company softball team when I was working for a Property Management firm. Other than that, team sports are not really something that I've done recently. I prefer swimming. I occasionally play badminton, golf, go bowling...stuff like that, but not often. Dancing is another great form of exercise. I like to go out dancing fairly regularly.

Call me old-fashioned, but the only dancing I really enjoy doing is square dancing.

Oh yes, how could I forget "Mr. Bean"! I used to watch that show a lot. When I was in high school, one of my teachers would let us watch episodes of "Mr. Bean" on Fridays if we were "good" during the week!

And were you good?

Do you have all the gear?

No, I haven't square-danced in years.

I was trying to picture you (based on rather limited information) dressed up in all those crinolines and such, do-si-doin' with a guy in overalls and gingham.

I actually haven't square danced since I was in high school (eons ago) and we wore our regular school clothing. At least they didn't make us wear our gym outfits! My only complaints were...1)I ALWAYS seemed to get a guy with super-sweaty hands! and 2)The guys would take turns belching in the microphone used by the boys' gym teacher to call the dance moves. Of course they did this before the teachers were in the gym.

So Graham Norton, Parkinson, Manchild, Changing Rooms, Ground Force, AbFab, and Coupling.

I stare at the BBC America Channel for hours. What can you say? The British are far more evolved than us.

Totally forgot, French & Saunders and The Vicar of Dibley. Gotta love Dawn French.

Excuse me? British dramas are more realistic and gritty? Every expisode of Casulty had someone coming in with their head chopped off and the nurses offering them a spot of tea to make it better. What the heck is up with that?

Gasp! I didn't know West Wing was shown outside of the US. That's my favorite show!

And to they. Why do you two prefer Trading Spaces over Changing Rooms?

I've thought what I like about each of them and I think I've figured out what it is for me.

Trading Spaces an hour long and spends more time explaining HOW to do all the do-it-yourself stuff. However, the people are boring. Besides, I like Alex McLeod, Paige Davis doesn't have that cool huskiness to her voice. Paige Davis is more like a DIY version of Kathie Lee Gifford.

Changing rooms gets my vote as the better of the two. The personalities are much more interesting and the rooms look so much nicer. Sure, they act like you can just pop off and do this and that and make it all look easy. But they have more charm and character.

I was 'good' at skipping out of school!

It's shown all over the place It's my second favourite show ever (after Babylon 5) and my favourite current show. We've just seen the end of the second season. It's just too good!!!

1) All the guys had sweaty hands. They were nervous.
2) What you witnessed here was a contest to establish which was the "alpha-male". The loudest belch will be indicative of the greatest amount of testosterone.

Second season, second season? Quick, tell me which one that was. I can't remember. Is that the one where someone is shot, but we don't know who?

I realize that about the alpha-male, but that didn't make it any less digusting to the girls. You should have heard what they said about the boys' behavior. As for sweaty hands...I also realize that, but why did I always get the sweatiest of the sweatiest (at least it seemed that way)?

I personally like the people on Trading Spaces better than the ones on Changing Rooms. I think they have more fun on Trading Spaces. I also like a lot of the stuff they do. I'm more into the carefree type rooms and they do a lot of those. The only person I can't stand on Trading Spaces is Hilda. She gets on my nerves. She also happens to be the only designer on Trading Spaces without a design degree. IMAGINE THAT!!! Ty is such a hottie. That's also another reason I love Trading Spaces!!! *blushes*

I don't think I've seen casualty. American dramas still seem to be holding back a bit. I mean it wasn't that long ago that you couldn't say "toilet" on American TV for Christ's sake! US cable shows are better, but free-to-air is just so much fluff.

That was way back at the end of the first season! Mrs Landingham (sp?) died at the end of the second. We've just seen the episode with her funeral. Amazing stuff! Me and my mum got into it as soon as they started watching it but my younger brother wasn't keen at all. Then he saw an episode and decided he wanted to watch all of them so I've been rewatching them with him (ah, the wonders of a vcr ). We're about half way through the second season with the rewatches now. It's still good a second time around!

But he was lucky, we had to wait 6 months to find out who got shot and then another weeks to find out if he was going to survive. My little brother went from season 1 to season 2 in a night!

One of teh digital channels has started showing season 3 now but I just have 4 of the terrestrial channels. We have to wait until next year for season 3

Oh man, so you just saw Two Cathedrals? That was such a great episode. Martin Sheen was amazing in that one! Such a powerful perfomance. Calling God a feckless thug. What balls!

I think you can go to www.nbc.com to find out the episode listing and recaps. That's the channel that produces the show.

The show comes on here on Wednesdays, so I never plan to do anything on that night. I refer to that day of the week as West Wing Wednesday.

I don't speak a bit of Latin but watching him rage against God in the cathedral, that was quite something. I didn't find out until I read the review in the paper the next day what he actually said. Before the West Wing, Martin Sheen was just an actor that I'd never seen in anything, washed up, from the past (I'm young remember!) but from his first entrance in the first episode! What an actor!

We bought the dvds of the second half of season 1 recently. The extras aren't great, about all that there is is three different adverts for the West Wing that were shown on US tv. Oh my word! You have to put up with some cheesy adverts!

Yu-Gi-Oh All THe Way!!!!!!!

I used to watch Dr. Who a lot. I think the only non-American shows we really get here in the States are British. Sometimes I watch the international channel here, but not usually for too long because I can't understand what they're saying.

Do you get The Office? If that appears on BBC America or anything then you *have* to watch it. It's about the *best* comedy around at the moment!

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Well, I don't have cable TV so there are none available for me to watch.

no

I live in the uk and the american shows i watch are all the csi's and law and orders, also without a trace and ncis
