I've really grown to love the UK panel shows, especially the two you mention as well as Nevermind the Buzzcocks and (can't believe I'm admitting to this) Celebrity Juice. The latter two are on a much different level, but equally hilarious. I'm not sure those programs would be popular in the US, but you never know...I can definitely understand why you miss the shows you miss though! Come Dine With Me is another fave, and I've gotten into Lewis recently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473718776411954343.post-50712778179670759542013-02-22T21:28:05.621+00:002013-02-22T21:28:05.621+00:00I'm aware of IP proxies, particularly Tunnel B...I'm aware of IP proxies, particularly Tunnel Bear which is a paid-for service. But I'm not sure the legality of them. Tunnel Bear advertises itself as an opportunity to 'experience the internet from another country' so it doesn't encourage using the likes of iPlayer, 4oD and Netflix (which is different from nation to nation), but it's pretty clear that's what people use it for. I don't think it's illegal to use these programs, but might be breaking the TOS of the likes of iPlayer. Murky waters, and I might do a whole post on it one day because I'm a sucker for media law :Pgladleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603955636771429512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473718776411954343.post-36162019009160448972013-02-22T21:25:02.443+00:002013-02-22T21:25:02.443+00:00There was an evening recently we all somehow ended...There was an evening recently we all somehow ended up watching Keeping Up Appearances. What's weird is that I think the class-based humor is lost on Americans. I think they don't realize that it's a play on the aspirational middle classes, so the whole premise of the show is misunderstood, and Americans think all Brits behave just as strangely for no reason whatsoever.gladleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603955636771429512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473718776411954343.post-57437055698970101832013-02-22T21:22:42.300+00:002013-02-22T21:22:42.300+00:00It'll be a sad day when Attenborough dies, for...It'll be a sad day when Attenborough dies, for sure.

Although, I do confess to my Hulu fix of Real Housewives and Nashville occasionally. <br />xoxo<br />SelenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
