...do Americans NEVER watch TV from other countries?!

Depends on which Americans you're talking about -- barely bilingual immigrants, or fourth-to-fifth-generation 'Murkuns whose only words in a foreign tongue are burrito, pizza and sauerkraut?

Here in the Philadelphia PA suburbs, local cable service has 27 Spanish-language channels and 17 "international premium" channels (Chinese, Korean, Farsi, etc.). There's also a cable channel called BBC America. As for the broadcast channels, only the Public Broadcasting Service channels (the ones that are commercial-free or nearly so, and rely on pledge drives, corporate grants and government revenue for their income) show a BBC news program and a very few British sitcoms, along with the indefatiguable "Masterpiece Theater" and "Mystery!" programs. There is only one PBS broadcast station in the area that shows a steady diet of international programs from many countries. So that's what's available... but who knows how many Americans watch which?

I confess: my guilty pleasure, while it was on the air here, was "My Hero"!
