What makes the U. S. different is that we don't have state run tv or a tv liscence. It probably wouldn't work here anyway because Americans would complain that TV should be completely free while paying for cable and complaining about all of the advertising on tv shows (which need it because tv is free). I think it would have worked if Americans had started out doing it in the first place just like the subscribership of radio when it first came out. <BR/><BR/>There are Brits that want to do away with the tv liscence because the BBC still does have commercials, but I think that's because they really haven't seen the affect of advertising dependent tv. There is a limit on advertising while in the U. S. commericals run so long sometimes I forget what show I'm watching.<BR/><BR/>What would be sad is if shows like Survivors (original), Blakes 7 etc. wouldn't even make it today unless in a flashy style. The new Survivors was okay, but the original is way better with all of it's low budget. Same with B7 for all of it's $50 effects per episode and cheap sets etc. the show was fantastic. Paul Darrow decided to not go with the revival of the series because of artistic differences. Also I'm noticing a decreasing in episodes. I think the making bigger and better is shortening seasons.Welcomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873814449216446881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-48827686780439752592009-01-26T03:38:00.000+03:302009-01-26T03:38:00.000+03:30http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info...http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info/store,books/products_id,7847/title,Pride-and-Prejudice-and-Zombies/hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260446504523082999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-34556645288318439262009-01-21T01:58:00.000+03:302009-01-21T01:58:00.000+03:30Ahahahahahaha!! rolling on the floor laughing, ser...Ahahahahahaha!! rolling on the floor laughing, seriously. :D :D hahahhaha.<BR/>I read my sister the part about how the family gets to the game show, but she didn't get it. she said it was dark.

I enjoyed reading this Deal or No Deal post and I was wondering: if you ever created a game show, what would it be like? Would you force your contestants to dress in costume? It might be fun to see a post about your own game show. (Perhaps, ABBA could be involved?) :)??https://www.blogger.com/profile/00531830089981591188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-27955345978565219222009-01-17T09:39:00.000+03:302009-01-17T09:39:00.000+03:30This analysis is awesome.

So instead of the epic list of stuff to do I've been reading blogs. <BR/><BR/>I'd just like to say, I've seen the English Office and Skins is one of my favorite shows ever... even though I can only watch the DVD on my computer. I love English television.<BR/><BR/>I hate the American Deal or No Deal. I use to like it, then the contestants got cheesy and obnoxious. It's common knowledge that Howie hates Germs. He does not want you rubbing his head. I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure most bald men don't like screaming strangers rubbing their head.<BR/><BR/>So I'm going to go back to staring listlessly at a blank document, give up then go back to reading blogs and trying to think up new and creative ways to get people to take me to the book store because I'm almost out of books.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID. <BR/><BR/>Sorry if I sounded like a *fangrl* for a moment there...but seriously, I could not agree with you more. <BR/><BR/>First, I cannot STAND Deal or No Deal. My taste in game shows is minimal - I do like trivia-based ones, like Jeopardy and The Weakest Link (the latter another show we PLUNDERED from the UK - the red-haired lady ROCKED, though). But Deal or No Deal is completely random and mindless, and when I've watched it (sadly frequently as my Grandma's a huge fan), I'm always teetering between boredom and dismay. The absolute GREED of people! And it's more blatantly obvious that it ever has been, on any game show. <BR/><BR/>That said, I do welcome the fact that the British version is without the likes of scantily clad models and relentless screaming (why does my country seem to treasure these things so?), and now have another reason to love the UK! I hope to live there and am jealous of YOU as always. :P But I watched the Serial-Killer/Dickensesque clip on MUTE, and the suspense still seeped through. Too much for me. Poor pirate dude.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I also cannot stand US habits of stealing awesome UK shows in general (don't forget my fav show of all time, Whose Line Is It Anyway). I've ranted about it frequently. Life On Mars especially pains me. <BR/><BR/>Please continue your studies which will allow me to live vicariously through all of your wonderous adventures and whatnot!<BR/><BR/>-JacleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-23388018930176337332009-01-12T22:13:00.000+03:302009-01-12T22:13:00.000+03:30Maureen!

But I doubt it will matter much longer, as the British are slowly going to take over American television, and, by default, the United States.<BR/> For example, Russel Brand hosted the VMAs this year. He mocked the Jonas Brothers, so now 92% of American girls hate him.<BR/> Peter Ishkans has his own show in America trying to fix businesses started by us silly Americans, and we Americans quickly became obsessed with his tough love attitude, skinny pants, and big hair. Oh Peter, gotta love him.<BR/> It all started a while ago actually. Disney and Peter Pan? Coincidence?! I think not.<BR/>Just wait, Americans are going to pick up British accents!

Though I have to say, in all my time watching the Australian version (which is almost none), I don't think I've ever seen someone go right to the very end. They always go really well for a time, then they go one too far and knock out a biggie and take the scraps of the money offered. Which I guess either makes us sensible or pathetic.
