As for the listing of side effects, that's a law here in the US. It wasn't very long ago that advertising prescription drugs to the public was not allowed. When the law was changed to allow it, one of the strings attached was requiring "full disclosure" including side effects discovered during testing. The same "fine print" appears in print ads for the drugs as well.

Fortunately I can still do both of those things, so don't need any perscription flowmax (what a great name for medicine to make you pee) or cialis for daily use. Yet. Quote:
I shouldn't really complain about US adverts, it's not like I'm paying to watch and it's only thanks to some nice Americans that I can. |

Just watched that bit ... and it was fun. I guessed they'd lose as I couldn't see the military boys being too happy if an attack helicopter couldn't take out a car!

American t.v. was the best in the 1950's and 1960's. It was mostly westerns, police crime, variety shows, 30 minute comedy shows ( called situation comedies ). Even the cartoons on Saturdays were great. There was not much British t.v. that I know of in that period. British t.v. did not start until the 1970's with this very popular show Masterpiece Theater. This show was shown on public television of Channel 11 and lasted for decades. It showed mostly period dramas and comedies. I think one of the all time favorites was: Upstairs, Downstairs.
Then later another British series started called "Mystery" which ran for several more decades. |

American sitcoms or British sitcoms
Let say for some reason you could only watch sitcoms from either the United States or from the United Kingdom.
So which would you choose ? Would you choose to only watch British sitcoms and never again watch American sitcoms. Or would you choose to only watch American sitcoms and never watch British sitcoms again ? I would choose to only watch British sitcoms. As i prefer British comedy to American comedy. And most of my favorite sitcoms are British. |

Well if it was a stark either or...I'd also choose Brit comedies, but that's not to say that the Americans can't make funny shows if they make the effort. Mad TV and Seinfeld were pure comedic genius

It would depend on when the cut off point was. If its old sitcoms then it would be British as I think they were b far the best during the 80's and early 90's. However if its now then it would probably be American as our sitcoms tend to be piss poor these days.

I'm sorry to say that there's not a great deal on TV that amuses me these days, regardless of where it's made. This also goes for movies. The golden days of shows like Fawlty Towers are long gone

Yes sadly tv execs are not willing to take risks like they did in the old days. I think also with the way of the world they are also worried about upsetting one group or another and so do sod all. I think if you look at Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses for example they would likely never be commissioned these days for fear of upsetting someone.
