British and American TV not only have their own drek, they seem bound and determined to borrow one anothers as well.

The American "Golden Girls" series was remade in England. But it doesn't just go from here to there...don't we Americans have the Brits to thank for "3's Company"?

And we sometimes try to borrow each others successes with spectacular failure.

The American version of "Red Dwarf" was a complete and total waste of film, time, and money.

In my mind, it is not about any particular "American" condition, or any particular "British" condition. It is a human condition to both succeed and to fail.

You'll find the good, the bad, and the ugly no matter where you go.
