With our new Directv dish we got a package with BBC America in it. I was hoping for something a little more like I remember the actual BBC being, but sadly it's not like that. During the day there's like 2-4 episodes in a row of things like The Weakest Link, or 2 eps in a row of How Clean is Your House. While the latter can be interesting to watch (in that trainwreck horror kind of way).
The evening programming is better. But they do like that American thing of having several re-runs of a show on that same night. A little more diversity would have been nice. But then more of the real BBC might not have gelled too well with American audiences? cultural thing maybe?
Probably a cultural thing, yeah. I've only watched the real BBC a few times while visiting Erik's family, though, so I wouldn't know that much what to expect, you know?
