What British progs should the Americans put on PBS?
Hmmm, let's see if I can figure out where this icon is coming from . . .
Apparently so.
This seems to be Avanutria's trademark now, so I won't use it here. But, I'd like to copy it over to my school's board so that I can use it on my students. It's my usual expression when dealing with them.
Mind if I do that? If I can figure out how.

Don't worry. I know everything there is to know about America because I have seen episodes of the Simpsons, Desperate Housewives, Smallville, and Charmed. I think that about covers the whole US experience.IRTradRU? wrote:What American programs should they watch in the UK?
THE SIMPSONS
Oh, wait - I think they already have it...

It's the closest thing Avanutria can get to a flatmouth icon.avanutria wrote:Hahaha, I've no exclusive rights to it - Chiffers have used it before, including me.

Nope. You also need King of the Hill, The Price is Right, and...hm. Let's throw in Home Improvement for good measure.jbarter wrote:Don't worry.

My sincere condolences, Martin.
PS, Martin, did you know your hero Hugh Laurie is in an American drama ("House")? I hear it's pretty good, but I just crack up every time I see Bertie Wooster playing an American doctor. Actually, your avatar brings a smile to my face every time I see it.
I love House! The first time I watched it I kept trying to remember where I'd seen the guy playing House. I kept relating him to comedy. The next day my brain dredged up the memory of him as Bertram Wooster. He does an American accent well enough to fool anyone who did not know he's from across the pond.
"Dr. House" is a really tactless,scruffy,un-doctor-like character-loose cannon type, who tends to make biting remarks to everyone and happens to be brilliant so he's tolerated. Very politically incorrect and often witty. He's also addicted to pain pills. I just hope that they don't mess it up, but I fear they are going to. It looks like they are going to introduce a "love intrest" for Dr. House and that will ruin it. It's one of the few TV shows I actually watch anymore.
