[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 22654"] It's not just an almost (but not quite) common language that makes US films, soaps and sitcoms popular in the UK. It's cheaper, partly because of the sheer volume of the stuff produced, partly because it doesn't have to be subtitled, dubbed of lectored. But the main reason is that the American sense of humour is much closer to ours, and much more readily appreciated, than say the German sense of humour (yes, there is one, it's just kept well hidden and not allowed out on TV except on special occasion). In short, we simply prefer it. [/QUOTE]
