Grrr... we Aussies never get any decent American TV until way after it's done in the US! Firefly being a case in point - we didn't get it at all til 2 years later.
I'm a huge fan of Scrubs, personally. I kind of like House but I don't think it's terrifically intelligent TV, I mostly enjoy picking holes in the medical bits.

As far as I can tell we Americans don't get any Australian TV at all. So at least you're getting something.

True... actually, the sad thing is that we Aussies don't get heaps of Australian TV either. Part of the problem with Australian TV is that the budgets for the shows are always very very low - like, 10% of what Buffy's was when they started and no one knew who they were. Also, because of lack of international exposure, they aren't real famous, so there's less international peer pressure to watch. We copied your American Idol and America's next top model, though... yay for us.
That said... grrr, I was about to recommend an aussie TV show and I've temporarily forgotten the name of it (a couple of years old, now)...
Irony abounds.

i can't help but wonder, IS THIS A JOKE??? Samuel L. Jackson sure has sure gone downhill with this crap.
I just can't understand how major hollywood studios put out utter shite like this, and amazing independent films are passed over. Most big-budget hollywood films nowadays are terrible, and the only reason I go to SOME of them is because there are hardly any small indie theatres here (which are more expensive as well). The best films this year have all been indie's, and at least more notice is being payed to them
.
It's so difficult for indie directors to get noticed now, it's pathetic. Nobody will accept my own script because it's been deemed "too political and possibly offensive to some". So myself and my friends are making it ourselves with money out of our own pockets.
Screw you Hollywood!!!

We deserve all of the blame for Next Top Model but Idol is the UKsters fault.
