[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 5685087, member: 4348"] [MENTION=80342]morris[/MENTION] As I said, I'm old, so it may just be how old people view the new things. I'm sure your parents look at some of the new stuff and have some interesting views on them. I travel quite a bit, that's why I brought up the items I did. Gaga seems huge in the US...but mention Robbie Williams and no one seems to know who he is. In Britain they know Gaga...AND Williams. In the Middle East, Williams is actually known, Gaga is big (Mynogue is also rather big), and then some artists that no one has heard of that sing Middle East stuff in Arabic or other languages. And in East Asia...they've heard of everything, pirate everything, but they have some big artists I don't even understand who they are. I know Britain has had some dark stuff, but typically it's a more slow moving dark which can really creep you out rather than the type of Dark TV I've seen from the US (as I said, best sort of comparisons for that would be stuff like Buffy, Angel, etc.). I suppose you could call it the teeny dark? British would be more of an adult dark? Maybe it's because Dr. Who is supposed to be a family show that I get more of that "teeny dark" from it...though I didn't get the teeny dark feel from the SJA (didn't get any dark from that show really...so maybe a bad reference). I think the numbers in the US have risen dramatically, part of the reason they are broadcasting the show in the US at the same day as the UK now...the numbers are significant from what I've heard. In fact, on some episodes I've heard the audience has actually been bigger in the US...but that's just the rumor mill at work and all. Anyways, as I said, I'm old, and you know how old people get on their old TV shows in relation to the New shows. I've trained my kids up good though, they all like the Old Doctor (and the new doctor) even if their mother only likes the New Doctor. [/QUOTE]
