1255889 2012-01-25 22:18:00 I just saw an advert on tv1 for the comedy Absolutely fabulous, advertised as all new episode (only 2 episode infact, as they are specials). So i checked the broadcast dates in the uk, and it seems we are getting them before the USA, and they aired less than a month ago in the uk.

So is this a sign that we are getting shows quicker?

UK airdates here (en.wikipedia.org 011.E2.80.9312.29)

tv1 tv guide (www.skytv.co.nz)

I don't like the show, but i was suprised we are getting it so soon after the original broadcast, as i always normally takes probably 5 months for a new show to get here (south park etc..)

At least prime is getting some UK shows fairly fast these days like Top Gear, Dr Who and Torchwood..

1255891 2012-01-26 00:07:00 Some shows should never arrive here!

If it was my choice we'd never see 'reality' shows, Idol, Top Model, Top Chef or anything containing Rap.

Maybe they could play in a centuries time, once I'm securely away from them in my grave.

Wohay! Another positive side to death!

1255892 2012-01-26 02:24:00 Survivor screens here around 4-5 months after it started in the USA. Means you cant go online for like 5 months or you'll find out who won... Chilling_Silence (9)

The only winners on these shows are those who do not have TV. ;)

Heaven forbid they should actually broadcast anything current enough to actually atttract viewers.
