They didn't really list a lot of good examples for American tv, I really don't know much about British tv but I couldn't imagine they have anything better than breaking bad.

Game of Thrones. Nuff said!

So i guess drama is a niche genre now or something, cus it wasn't listed in the article.

Also, how could they not name Louie? It is the freaking gold standard of contemporary tv comedy. That along with Breaking Bad and of course Game of Thrones pretty much crap on most british tv. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sherlock and I really dig Luther, but Britain's got nothing on good American tv.

I'm English. Our TV is pure pap. We don't have the budgets the yanks do. Like most people around the globe, I greatly dislike America. But their good TV is better, pretty much purely because of production values. On the flip side their bad TV shows are worse than our bad TV shows.

Yeah. I shoulda mentioned Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead.

My bad.

I'd say British TV. We have Sherlock, and Doctor Who and about thousands of other programs.

How about this? Just watch what shows you like regardless of which network they are on or which country makes them. Do we really need a "hurr, durr my network/country is better than yours!!111" over tv?

im british but LOVE american comedies! 99% of the stuff i watch is american

so i choose america

im a brit and prefer canadian tv lol i miss stargate :(

Both are good! I can't do without top gear or supernatural.

I'm English and have to say outside of match of the day, I find very few reasons to watch English tv shows.. most of the dramas seem boring and there isn't many decent English comedies anymore. There are a few shows that are decent but they seem to be few and far between. Only show I can think of that's coming out this year that I'm really looking forward to is Red Dwarf.

What a load of crap. These articles are a pile of rubbish. I find it funny that the writer fails to include the list of shows Americans have tried to recreate in their own American style. Some worked some haven't.

- Life on Mars
- The Office
- Top Gear
- Only Fools and Horses
- IT Crowd
- Red Dwarf, twice
- Fawlty Towers
- Inbetweeners
- Skins
- Shameless
- Thick of it
- Dads Army
- Gladiators
- Men Behaving Badly

Just to name the ones off the top of my head.

We also have great shows that have not been remade for the US. Such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, An Idiot Abroad just off the top of my head.

Both countries do great shows. I think articles like this are just wrong. A better article would be about countries remaking a show from another country and ruining it.

Good UK TV is as good as the best of US TV, they both have some unbelievably bad shows though.

British!!!

British tv sucks apart from top gear and the odd documentary anything with professor brian cox is good,The rest is complete garbage including doctor who any of the soaps and the abomination that is the X factor ps simon cowell is a dickhead.

British tv was better in the 80's and 90's red dwarf, bottom, crystal maze.
