UK TV is seemingly obsessed by crime dramas, and so-called "reality" shows, both of which bore the pants off me.
The volume of US shows we get over here means we get some good stuff, 24, The West Wing, Nip/Tuck, etc. But we also get some crap as well.. (Desperate Housewives, anyone?)
Give me sci-fi any day; The US and the UK both have a go, but I think Canada makes the best sci-fi... :01:
Like what?Quote:

Hollywood likes to film there on the cheap. Don't know of many Canadian productions though.
Nice list! ;)Quote:

Anyway, that's quite funny, because when I posted I thought Farscape was Canadian, but it turns out its Australian! Doh! :frusty:
So I was wrong, Australia makes the best sci-fi... :01:
...and the post that preceded it says it....Quote:

I really don't see it as important either. Probably because it's not important.
Yeah I liked Lexx. The Brunin-Gee man..The Brunin Gee. Mantrid....Quote:

That production credit goes to the Sci-Fi Channel and Jim Henson Company.. :rolleyes: ..........shot in Australia.Quote:

I always figured Lexx wasn't American...but that's partly what made it different and subsequently appealing.
I don't think where it was made gives a series a different 'feel'.
Star-Trek, Firefly and Battlestar Galactica are all American productions, afaik, but they each have totally different feels to them.
Btw, I've watched the first 4 of series one of Battlestar Galactica over the last coupla days -- does it get better :unsure:
It's, like, pretty fecking boring atm.
