The Kiwanis Lions and Elks are American organizations. Freemasonry has murky past but we may as well claim it as British. If we accept that as being a service club, we can see that there's a negative correlation between service clubs and crap TV. People in nations with a history of crap TV, such as Canada and Australia, did not invent these clubs.
You argument is faulty anyway, as it seems to imply that there are still countries where the TV is not crap

Wow....that takes me back to my teens.
When we lived in Wales I caught my dad watching that on a few occasions......he couldn't understand a word of it, (he's cockney) but he's as deaf as a post.
It probable sounded good to him!!!!

I don't think UK TV is that bad generally, I'm always learning something from BBC 4 (TV) - okay, I then cancel it out with crap like Celeb Big Bro at the moment but there is lots of good British TV out there
Even the dreaded Sky is pulling its socks up - did anyone see "Hogfather" just before Xmas, pretty good.
What annoys me about TV here is the lack of HBO. That's just pathetic.

Yep its bad......... I have watched much less TV since I came to Canada, which is a good thing.
Programs that are ok (all American)
ER
HOUSE
ocassionally I watch BROTHERS and SISTERS
I got really into the weather channel when I first arrived. I found it very informative, although my OH got fed up of me spouting boring facts and statistics about the weather.
