Tv shows.

I'm born on the early 70s and fairly grew up during the 80s while the Italian telly was broadcasting a load of American TV shows.
I'm the one that watched them all, every single episode and still think that, aside from really few ones, today directors aren't able to repeat that kind of success.
I absolutely love House, but it's nothing compared to how much I was in love with Quincy.
Evidence of that could be the new series of Beverly Hills 90210, Knight Rider and so go on.
When I moved to Ireland, I started to have access to Channel 4. They have a great website where you can watch every program they broadcast whenever you want. It even resumes episodes when you get tired and interrupt them.
I have to mention Skins, Peep Show, Misfits (absolutely brilliant), Merlin (no way, I love it!!!) and Shameless. No wonder if the Americans have tried to make their own version of the last one.
But... really... seriously... Can you image Frank Gallagher out of the Chatworth estate, without his Manchester accent? And what about the last scene of the main theme with the UK flag behind his shoulders while he says "This is OUR England, now"?
Neither I.
Regardless of the hatred that Irish people (with good reason indeed) have against Britains, I do admit that their way of making TV is absolutely Great!
