Aneirin -> American TV ? (3/20/2010 10:06:49 AM)

We here in Britain have been fed a steady diet of US tv most of our lives, so with that most Brits who watch tv have an idea of Americans are like, your attitudes, politics, way of life and traditions, some of which have come to influence our own, we also know much of your landscape and climate. But my question is is what we know a fairly accurate representation, and similarly, what do you know of us, how would Americans describe what Britain and it's people are like? I understand you do get British tv, in the US but what do you get and are they true to type about us ? I ask this question because of reading on other threads, I have become aware some people still believe we live in a system controlled wholy by the monarchy, and other instances where if there is a British inspired thread running it is largely run by the British on these forums with little contribution from Americans, is it you don't know, or is it you don't care ? The reverse is different when an American inspired, domestic America thread is running, Britons will comment, will get involved, will contribute, why is there a difference ? What do you understand of us over here in Blighty ?
