Do you prefer British or American shows and movies?
I mean I love American shows, and you guys produce so much that you never get bored, but when I find out a show is British I immediately assume it will be great.

It’s a hard question. I appreciate British indy films, but I am also guilty of binge watching American TV shows when I feel the need to just relax and not have to think on much.

I like online streaming the best, as you get a real mix.

that’s too hard of a call. Ask a guy today and he’d say Benny Hill, over the Cosby Show.

The Brits have shows like Downton Abbey and let’s not forget about Harry Potter.

I think most of the very best shows and movies I’ve watched have been American. So it’s not just about the quantity!

American movies are great, i think i prefer American movies bc there is so much more, also American shows like csi and ncis, bones, are all great, friends, big bang theory, sooo many and also the old classics,

i’d say American tv/movies is best hands down :slight_smile: no contest.

I prefer the british shows. They don’t seem to be following a format as much as the american ones.

I can’t decide. I really like “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, but that’s not British. I was really taken with the show “Paradise Postponed” by John Mortimer back in the mid 1980’s. That was thoroughly British. I’ve liked a lot of the shows I’ve seen on Masterpiece Theater. They’re mostly British. I really liked “The Last Emporer”, but that’s neither British or American. Us Americans do have some great movies to our credit, like “The Graduate”, “Little Big Man”, and “Network”. I can’t decide.
