Seinfeld not being on the top shows list makes this lose all credibility.

Alright, lemme see if I got this straight.  A guy, who lives in Norway, posts, what they think in England, about shows, In America.  Man, just MOVE, shit, we know you want out, but damn, eventually you're gonna have to do something about it!

Some of my favorite shows of all time are

Friends
The Simpsons
The Honeymooners
Sanford & Son
The Sopranos
The Wonder Years

What's the matter doggy ??

You mad because you have to watch through 100's of crappy shows, garbage and endless commercials, when Norway easily sweep up the 30-50 best series in U.S., 30-50 best series in U.K., Australia, Sweden & Denmark in addition to making shows & series ourselves.. the best of ALL worlds.  8) Don't be jealous.

No, I'm not mad; I just think it's funny that you're obsessed with all things USA, but yet take every opportunity to slam the country; you admire what you hate.  What the fuck? The U.S. rules the world in everything, you know it, you even watch it on your television, but yet you still want to deny it, and knock it.

Nope, you got it all wrong, like usual.

I'm satisfied with a lot of the entertainment, shows, movies & music coming from the U.S., even though your sports sucks.
It's mostly your retarded foreign politics I put on blast, and pointing at some U.S. statistics, polls or news is just pure entertainment because I know you, and some of your fellow extremenist pro-Americans get SO mad & hyped when somebody puts up some unbiased statistics/news.  ;D

Now that's just silly.  Unless you only care about Soccer or Cricket.

I should have posted "IMO" behind it.. and I hate cricket.
American Football & Basketball would probably be a whole lot more entertaining to me if it wasn't for all the stops & commercial breaks..
When you're used to 2 x 45 minutes with only one 15 min break in between, everything else becomes a little boring, imo..

And another important thing, is that sports get a whole lot more interesting to watch if you have played it yourself..
And American sports isn't really big at all over here, so it doesn't generate much interest on TV, much like soccer isn't the biggest sport over there.

Yeah, Seinfeld I don't really like.  Something about it, I don't know what it is.  This may sound wrong, but I dont' give a fuck.  I think it's Jewish comedians.  I don't like *ANY of them, I dunno why.  There's something about like how they make fun of their culture, that I don't think is funny, I dunno what it is. 

& You forgot Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, on your kiddie list.
