Do You Guys Get Any American TV Shows Abroad?

[PaulFontaine]

If so I am curious as to which ones? We generally get "reboots" of many of your popular shows hear geared more towards the American audience

If you trawl this forum you will see threads littered with names like The Sopranos, The Wire, BSG, Damages, Game of Throne, Mad Men, The Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock etc
We get a lot of your good stuff, and quite a bit of the crap as well

I was just curious and then there are always DVD's speaking of which do youguys have a service like Netflix there? Netflix mail's you rental dvd's and you mail them back when done?

We do have a few services like that, they're nowhere near as popular though. We also have on-demand stuff on cable. But DVDs can often be found on special offer, which makes them much cheaper.

Reboot-wise, I can't remember anything acting related (we get a load of crappy reality shows and gameshows) since "Golden Girls" was remade. Fortunately it didn't last very long.

Law and Order is the only one that springs to mind.

Yup - LoveFilm is about the only major player still left, I think.

4.99 a month for a couple of DVDs at a time. Or thereabouts. I generally use them just for the XBox games.

Blockbuster offers that as well don't they?

Reboots, I thought of Brighton Belles as well. There were a lot of sitcom reboots back in the 80s/90s.
I can't recall recent ones...has SKy killed them off?
