So you end up either with some really great show that never reached its potential, like Max Headroom (no, I'm not going to say the "F" word, fuck you Joss Whedon fans, that show was shit and deserved to be canned), or we end up with shows that get so stale it becomes obvious the writers have no fucking clue what they're doing anymore by the end (X-Files, Lost, Heroes, etc.
Plus, US networks love to jerk shows around. So they do things like, say, telling Farscape they're cancelled when it was too late to make a finale episode. Or telling Babylon 5 they'd be cancelled 4 years into their 5-year plan, waiting until all the scripts were rewritten to rush the plot, then changing your mind and giving them a season 5 anyway. Or telling the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. to make 4 extra episodes after you'd already completely wrapped-up the plot arc, requiring you to pull some shitty episodes with a totally new premise out of your ass (and killing the show as a side-effect in that case.)
British networks seem to be at least honest with showrunners, and plan more than 1 week in advance.
Though, they did recently renew Person of Interest for a third season, so there's at least a glimmer of hope over in CBS-land...

If it's "tweaked" to fit American tastes, it won't be the same show and will only share a name. The only exception I can think of is The Office, where the US version was vastly superior to the UK version (IMHO, at least.) And they ended up running that show into the ground, too.
One thing you can do in the UK (or Japan) that you can't in the US is go to a network and go, "hey I wrote 13 episodes and a 2-hour special. Then it's over. It's done. That's all I wrote." No more seasons, no sequels, it's done. Forever.
Can you tell I love Cowboy Bebop and Extras?
The funny thing is when those series' ended, I felt like I'd do ANYTHING to get more of the stuff. GIVE ME MORE! But there was no more.
Then I slit my wrists. That speech at the end of Extras on the Big Brother set, when he finally realizes what he wants out of life, is the most brilliant 5 minutes of television I've ever seen in my life. I can't find it on YouTube because apparently that's the *only* scene they use the copyright system thing on. Huh. So here's Chubby Little Loser.

They're wrong. Quality = getting a load of brilliant people in one place and having them knock it all out quickly. If you have brilliant people but spread them out, you end up with Red Dwarf where the creators start feuding and get pissed at each other and quality suffers.

Man, you guys could take a lesson from America where our non-commercial TV is funded through: 1) white guilt; 2) multi-national corporations who get nothing in return except copious mentions of their name; and 3) unwitting taxpayers who click away so frantically when they accidentally land on public TV that you'd think they were trying to disarm a bomb.

Dr Who nothing. Do you know who produces the longest-running broadcast program in history? It'll probably surprise you.
Depending on how you measure it, the answer is either "The Grand Ole Opry" or "The Mormon Tabernacle Choir." Both organizations produce weekly shows that started in the 1920s, before the invention of television, and are still going today.

Yeah, typical Limey abbrev. Sorry.

And if you liked Moffat stuff, Sherlock and Coupling are good BBC exports.

We've half-done it. BBC charges a rental for you having a TV, other companies either beam their programmes over the airwaves freely but with interspersed advertising or - like Murdoch's empire - charge a subscription per channel/package. It's a strange payment model altogether, completely outdated and yet every government is frightened of opening that can of worms.

Ah, but instead of a block of time where you can run to the pisser and grab another beer while McDonald's yammers away about itself (and which sometimes might even be mildly amusing), they've got representatives of PBS mouthing platitudes about a restaurant none of them would ever set foot in. Isn't the lack of dishonesty and salesmanship refreshing?
"Commerical-free" here means that instead of content that has to succeed by entertaining or informing the average American, we get content that exists solely to make a statement to the world about what kind of person you are, what causes you believe in, etc. It's narcissism par excellence.
Now, that isn't to say PBS doesn't have some good stuff, but a lot of their shit is unwatchable. And NPR just turns me into a trembling ball of pure rage as I scream "THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE YOU RETARDED CUNT, WHY DON'T YOU READ A GODDAMN BOOK YOU ILLITERATE PIECE OF SHIT!" Seriously, I think there should be a study to see if incidents of road-rage-inspired violence happened after a driver inadvertently heard a few seconds of NPR.

I think you could make the argument that GL was soft sci-fi.
(This reminds me of an argument I had years ago wherein I asserted that all games were at least 3-D games since they also had a time component, and that what we were calling 3-D games should more properly be called 4-D games.)

All games are 1-D. The size of the screen is a constant during gameplay, so the location of the current pixel just oscillates during each time-unit. So-called 3-D games are at best two side-by-side monitors showing slightly different images.

I literally have no idea what you are saying. The gameplay exists in, at least, three dimensions. (We did come up with a "true" 1-D game by having a dot that sometimes existed and sometimes didn't. I'm not aware of any "true" 2-D games, i.e. ones where you simply move across a line segment.)

Congratulations, you bit, and in doing so essentially categorised yourself to be the moron that we all knew you were. You didn't manage to provide any justification for patriotism, you simply declared that it was deserved, and then declared that every other country in the world was a shithole. American Exceptionalism is a genuinely weird concept... strangely though, I know you ACTUALLY BELIEVE it. It means that, as well intelligent and educated as you are (relatively, as an individual compared to your countrymen), your country's system has succeeded in brainwashing you regardless. Everyone else who is not American understands this. Much like normal people looking in on a bunch of Scientologists, completely unable to figure out why the Scientologists haven't noticed its bollocks.
Anyway, the fact is that my country isn't garbage... it is what it is... a collection of people who were mostly born in the same location, striving to enjoy their lives, and mostly not dicking each other over. To address your somewhat fatuous caveman comment, I'll counter with an actual fact: "if it wasn't for my country you'd all be speaking French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese". Incidentally, I'm not being perjorative, I'm just pointing out how to make such stupid statements without being completely incorrect; learn to fact.
So When you ask yourself "Why does everyone hate America?" in a hurt tone of voice, remember, the answer is that "No-one hates America. We just hate the Americans like you."
I'm not calling people who like sports names. I'm mocking those who are so emotionally tied up with their teams fortunes that they cry, and sometimes riot, because "their" team got beaten. These are people who have never met ANY of the players of that team. And if they did meet the players, they'd find out that the players couldn't give even half a shit about them. So to start crying, or worse to start punching people in the face, because a group of essentially unrelated people did some unrelated thing, is total fucking madness. And patriotism is EXACTLY the same madness just at an industrial scale... throwing in your allegiance with MILLIONS of other people you've never met, who care less about you than the players do about their fans, and for what?? What do you get out of that irrational belief?
Well, at least in Europe you get healthcare, decent education, and the right to walk down the street without getting shot.
tldr: I'm not saying don't love your country. Love the fuck out of it; that's a positive thing.
I'm saying don't for a minute believe there is anything qualitatively different, or better, about your country, because there really isn't. Your shit stinks just as bad as the rest. Your corrupt officials are just as corrupt as everyone else's, just maybe more sophisticated at concealing it. Your push for democracy across the world is just as self serving as every other nations foreign policy: if some tinpot-dictator-in-all-but-name plays ball with your government then he's country is a fine example of the democracy you're spreading in that region, but if the dictator doesn't cooperate and "shock horror" maybe even instigates some sort of health/education system for his people (almost certainly cutting out American businessmen) then he's a menace, destabilising the world, and he needs to be removed.

Hey Evillegion, pro-tip: if you spent 40 minutes writing a long-winded diatribe to someone who does not give a fuck, you were the one who was trolled.
-
Well, that does somewhat raise the question of what trolling actually is. Its essentially a subjective thing. For example, if you call someone a cunt when you don't actually think they're a cunt, is that trolling? What if you call them a cunt when you DO think they're a cunt? If a persons serious opinion isn't the same as the presented opinion, is that in anyway relevant to the trolling?
So, I take that back... I wasn't trolling (since its impossible to actually pin down what trolling actually is) but I was instead calling a cunt a cunt.

You liar, you were attempting to troll. (Why else would you have written the line about how Americans don't get an education and get shot every day? If that wasn't trolling, then you're the dumbest person on Earth-- so it's actually more generous for me to assume you were trolling.) Calling a cunt a cunt isn't a troll, true, but that's not what you were doing unless you're now trying to ret-con it.
But look, it's very simple. The troll tries to get the most reaction from the least action.
If I go into a naive forum and type, "you know, Hitler wasn't that bad a world leader-- at least you could share a beer with the guy!" and someone posts a 4,000 word rebuttal, he was trolled. Because I expended very little action and got a lot of reaction.
If I wrote 4,000 words about Hitler being ok and someone replies with, "you're an idiot", he wasn't trolled-- because I expended more energy in the action than I received in the reaction.
Now I hope you realize how badly you were trolled.

No I'm deadly serious... your state education system is appalling. Like truly appalling. I am truly appalled. You have a handful of decent, and very expensive universities, sure, but the vast majority of your populace receive next to no education. Your 18 yo students know less about pretty much everything than 12 yo students from Europe.
The getting shot at thing was perhaps a bit facetious, I grant you, but behind that facetiousness I'm deadly serious. You guys needed gun control at least a century ago, yet still you cling to this irrational belief that more guns makes you safer, without taking into account that you need to reduce your "fucking mentalist" count in order for that to be true.
So, yeah, my opinions about some of the problems with the US might be a bit inflammatory, but they are genuinely held. Do they count as trolling? Either way, they're up there for any dickhead who wants to challenge them.
Would you be happy if I altered the sentence to "...now I feel bad for pointing out what a moron you are."? I had felt I'd used the word moron slightly to much when I typed it first time round.

Actually we're divided along party lines on that issue, with the left becoming more vociferous by the day. The saner half of us is trying to get gun control in place, at the very least a background check for prospective gun owners.
Unrelated: Extra Credits explores the difference between how guns are seen in the East vs how they are seen in the West, to explain why the US pumps out a disproportionate number of First Person Shooters.

Demonstrably we didn't "need" gun control a century ago, as we didn't have it a century ago and yet somehow, a century later, we still exist. Shocking.
You're conflating the varying opinions of 300+ million people into a single belief system. I don't believe more guns makes me safer. And I'm American. How do you reconcile that with your idiotic rant? You think I'm lying? Secretly Canadian?
I would be 100% in support of reducing our fucking mentalist count if it meant using one of those scary guns to kill John Edward (this one) stone-dead. Goddamned I hate that guy.

No, no one clings to that belief, whatever you think about the rationality of it. But many (most?) of us do believe that people should have the right and the capability to defend themselves. If you agree with that, then either you think that law abiding citizens should be able to have guns, or you think that it's acceptable for the physically weak to be vulnerable to the physically strong. I guess the European edumacational thingies don't teach much about logic or critical thinking, but at least you have good typing skills.
