It doesn't compute, and what comes out the other end can, from a British point of view, appear sanitized and dull.

By that measure, The American Office should have been a disaster as well, but the one episode I got round to watching was actually ok ...
well don't forget with the amount of channels they have out there they are bound to produce a lot of rubbish.. mind you Celeb Love Island, Celeb Wrestling we have just as much rubbish as they do

American's make TV for American's and so not having their upbringing and culture it is bound to be a bit hit and miss on us
