24 was gripping for the first few, although I started to get bored, likewise with Lost (that lost me after 1st series).

There is an awful of of dross that comes out of the States, but there are some cracking programmes too. Just like in the UK - lots of trash telly (more than ever it seems) but some very good programmes.

The A-Team
The Six Million Dollar Man
Knight Rider
Baywatch
Dallas
Dynasty

Dear me!

Can somebody explain why the patronisingly unfunny garbage called "Last of the Summer Wine" has been on for almost as long as Coronation Street????
