Subject: RE: BS: Irony on American TV? Quite a bit.
High Noon IS set in the Yorkshire Dales, they just call it Emmerdale now....

Or is that Heartbeat...?

Waiting for God is fantastic and I want to be Diana Trent. Simpsons and King of the Hill have overlapped, when the Hills appeared as audience members when Bart was the football team anchor man (forgotten the episode name, was on UK terrestrial TV last week), again two brilliant shows. Seinfeld left me screaming for less and Cheers is about as funny as piles. At least Roseanne (in the early days) had some caustic and amusing moments... but I think my all time favourite has to be the line from Friends - Rachel screaming down the hall after Ross - 'it isn't that common, it doesn't happen to every guy and it IS a big deal!!'
