US vs UK #1

TV: In years past, I would have said that US TV was notoriously awful - terrible comedies, loads of ad breaks, loads of channels showing a load of rubbish.  It seems that the UK has caught up.  I haven't even bothered to look at the Radio Times to see what is on over the holidays, apart from some sports there is absolutely nothing I am interested in.  I'm sure there might be a prestige drama worth watching, but that pales in comparison to the golden age of television currently existing in the US - why do you think all these big name actors are suddenly prepared to appear on US TV?  What does the BBC have - why, Pointless and Eggheads.  It's no contest - the US wins.
