True, although the American channels don't actually help much. They seem to be increasingly postponing shows for longer and longer periods. Take the situation recently. I watch several US timeline shows, and most of them came off the air for nearly a month over christmas and they've all been postponed over the last three or four weeks for the Winter Olympics. So, out of the last three months, they've been on for one of them.
Unfortunately, this means that the UK channels showing these have to wait as well, and, IMO, waiting puts a lot of viewers off.
