2 commentairesModifié par SkilPhil : 4/6/2013 12:27:47 PMThe annoying thing about American television is that they cannot hold a shot for more than one second, everything has to be so intense, the camera angles are constantly changing and its really annoying, it kind of suggests they cater for audiences with much shorter attention spans. I know Ramsyes kitchen nightmares isn't the most inteligent show in the world, but if you compare the Uk's to the US's its like watching a strobe light. I'm not saying all Americans have short attention spans or that they don't have intelligent programmes, it just seems the tv producers seem to think so.
-
Even as an American, I find british tv shows to be better.
-
Well yeah because they cater to a smarter audience.

1 commentaireI hadn't been on b.net in a while and I honestly forgot how ethnocentric this place is. I'm going to assume it's because the average age of members of this site is lower than others I frequent but I've never been on a site that's more ethnocentric than this.

6 commentairesLike what? They do seem to be of lower production value though. Also, inb4 Doctor Who. It's a fun show, but its science is laughably stupid and the entire show is a revamped kids' series.
-
Is one type of tv show smarter and more intelligent than a different type of tv show? They are tv shows, they are incapable of thought nor do they have a conscious, therefore neither are intelligent creatures and one cannot be smarter than the other.
-
No. The only reason it seems so is because we (generally) only get the good exports here in the States (unlike the Brits, who are unfortunate in that they get most of our shows, including the godawful ones).
-
bump for interest
-
Intelligent? Yes.
-
Obviously. How can anyone genuinely say otherwise?
-
Britain gave us Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell. Obviously no. And ban TV.
-
The only british show I've ever watched is Doctor Who, which is amazing.
-
2 commentaireswhy isn't there a "both have there ups and downs" option?

Not sure how TV shows can be more "intelligent" than other tv shows. But if you're talking about in terms of quality, then yes, Except for The Office. The British version is horrible even though it was the first one.
