Saved by the Bell is for pre-teens. Married with Children is a deeply sarcastic look at American values and culture. I don't think King of Queens is THAT bad, but it definitely is worse at achieving its goals than the examples you provided.
American television is ubiquitous. Television shows from any other country would pretty much only be known to people in that country with some very rare exceptions. Korean dramas are popular in the Philippines and some other East Asian countries. Egyptian shows used to be played all over the Arab world. Japanese anime has a following all over the world. There are some Brazilian programs that are moderately popular and once in a while a program from Canada or the BBC becomes famous. But that's really about it. If you want to make a television quiz that is accessible to more than a very narrow sliver of the population of the world and this website, American TV is the obvious way to go. Just being realistic...
Some of our most-watched shows originated as British shows - All in the Family, House of Cards, The Office, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Three's Company, Who Wants to be a Millionaire - just a few that come to mind.
In a lot of those cases mentioned it doesnt matter if the usa made bigger versions than the original ones, because a lot of countries will have their own version, so wont be watching either the uk OR the usa version. For example idol, dancing with the stars, who wants to be a millionaire, a host of other game shows, survivor and all types of reality tv and competition shows. And so on.
You are not realistic at all. Most shows here are from the uk, and for the quizshows it is definitely 100% uk and zero from the usa.Though usa is a close 2nd all other countries are rare, a few australian shows. And german some ones. (There are occasions of some scandinavian stuff, but those aren't recurring shows but one off's)
Where do you mean by "here?" In the UK? Why is it every British person on this website seems to think that there is the USA... and then there is "the rest of the world"... by which they mean England. There are other countries outside of the UK, you know that, right? I've lived in quite a few of them. And American TV absolutely got more play than British TV in ALL of them.
This is true . all of the above shows are shown in Ireland and UK , most are /were very popular apart from how I met your mother which never seemed to be very popular over here and the only show on here that I've never seen an episode of.
I was trying to think of what would be my favorite TV couple but I can't really think of any that stand out. Some random ones from shows I've liked would be... Stan & Wendy, Ally & Billie, Wash & Zoe, Walter & Skyler, Dexter & Rita, Goliath & Demona, William & Dolores, Tobias & Lindsay, Optimus & Elita, Bert & Ernie, Beavis & Butthead
I'm shocked and saddened that only 34% of people knew Joey & Pacey. They're my OTP and probably the reason I have such high standards when looking for a partner!
I misread the assignment and tried guessing the last names of the couples. I was getting really mad that nothing was going. And then I was like ooooooh... oops!
I believe Sifhraven hails from the Netherlands and his first language is therefore Dutch.
absolute bruh moment
