US or UK?

Byrony not true the last season of torchwood was made American, although the previous ones were all made in Cardiff. It lost the show a lot of fans. I think it was still good though it had all the elements that make great tv, but it just didn't feel like torchwood as half the main characters were now gone and replaced and it was a fair bit more American, I recon doctor who fans who hadn't watched any other torchwood and csi, bones etc fans would have liked it more than most torchwood fans did. I personally loved it butid didn't feel like I was watching torchwood just some other show.

Being an American in the UK - its a toss up for me. I like both UK and US shows. I think overall though, the US has better drama shows (like CSI & Bones) and the UK has better comedy. The US also has better Reality shows. (I like the American version of Top Model better than the British version.)

Spaced and The IT Crowd are two my favorite UK shows. I don't think an American version of Spaced would have worked. I heard that they did try to make an American version of the IT Crowd but it didn't catch on. (I would like to see that!)

The one show I do love is Hell's Kitchen USA with Gordon Ramsay. Although its an American show, the fact that Gordon is British makes it funny. There are times he will yell at the contestants using British words - they have no clue what he is saying! Its great!
