[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 5684781, member: 4348"] No, more like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Deep Space 9 (fairly popular prior to Doctor Who in the UK), and Smallville. It has that type of darkness in Doctor Who. Fantasy/Sci-Fi tinged with horror and grotesque things. Edit: To be more clear...I also can see it in Music. For example... Lady Gaga, and American Singer is someone that Americans and Brits both listen too. Robbie Williams and Little Boots are those that most in the US have not even heard of, much less listen to. However, Umbran, you may be right. I'm Old...at least in relation to many. You know what they say about old people...set in their ways, unchanging...etc. On your question about Being Human...I'm afraid I haven't seen the American version. I've only seen the British version...sorry...so I can't actually compare in that note. I do think that there is a distinct difference between the British Edge, and Americanized. One actually appeals to Americans...the other side, the British side may be highly popular with the British...but most Americans won't even realize it exists (sort of like Robbie Williams). Then again...as I said, I'm old and set in my ways so maybe I just am looking for things that set British apart...when in reality they've more melded with the American ideas over time than anything else. Plus, I'm currently living in the US and only way I know what's going on over there has been constant travel back and forth...so probably not the best to be bringing these things up anyways. [/QUOTE]
