Culture: Top 12 Things Britain Does Better than America… that just make sense

It doesn't surprise me one iota that some rightwing redneck "countryboy" would think that the GARBAGE on American commercially funded network and cable television is superior to ANYTHING more than..... well, garbage.

What is known as "Reality TV" is unwatchable to anyone with a brain. Everything else, drama or comedy, is only slightly less awful. The writing is terrible, simplistic tripe meant to appeal to the dumbass 18 - 35 year old demographic because that's who the commercial sponsors want to attract because they are the mindless consumers who can be most easily conned into wasting their money on whatever advertisers are trying to sell them. As such, and because this same group only responds positively to youth and beauty, in order to star on one of these shows, acting talent takes a backseat to physical attractiveness. Hard bodied young people rule the screen. Guys with a day or two's growth of beard, women with that same stupid looking hair that took a professional Hollywood stylist a couple of hours to make look like nothing was done to it.

Yadda yadda yadda.

American television is nothing but one clone copy show after the other. Nothing original. You could take the cast of any American TV show and swap them with the cast of any other and it would not even make the slightest difference.

Unfortunately, it seems like the trend with a lot of British TV is to follow American TV but at least much if it still employs quality written plots and scripts, combined with actors and actresses who can act and actually look like real, everyday people rather than fashion models, hand picked because of their looks.

British police dramas are by far and away superior to any of the Law and Order variations or the Hawaii Five-0 remake trash that we get fed because corporations demand the kind of dumbed down shit that appeals to dummies.

I won't even get in to the various Masterpiece Theater series vs Duck Dynasty. :palm:

So, what you're saying is that Hollywood needs an invasion by conservative screenwriters to fix the current establishment of Weinstein and Co.? :cof1:

Hardly.

What Hollywood needs is to stop being ruled by profit driven commercial interests.

Politics doesn't even enter into it. I will say that if conservatives took over, it would be even worse, but in the opposite direction.

The main difference would be that the female characters would go from phony hot-shit, ball-busting bitches who routinely beat up men twice their size, to dumb, submissive bimbos with blonder hair and bigger tits. Every plot would involve smarmy, phony-baloney "family values", resulting in one big pseudo-Christian themed, low IQ crapfest.

For starters, the coin thing is dumb, who wants to carry around a bunch of coins. I've lived in a place that had the washer dryer combo, they suck and ruin clothes.

We recently changed to plastic 5 and 10 pound notes, the 20 will be next. They last far longer and are nearly impossible to forge. I have a fairly good idea what some smart arse will say!

Oh, well if the female characters would all have bigger tits, that's a win in my book.

Anyway, I think Hollywood, being a commercial industry, should continue to pursue profits, because it makes a leftist like you rant about corporate interests and the profit motive.

No, the real reason you'd like that is because it would give contards like you even more mindless, dull-wiited entertainment to sit gazing and drooling at with your typical dumbass, slack-jawed bovine stares on your faces.
