BBC is just awful! They have no intensives to make good shows as they guaranteed government funding no matter what rating they get.

And yet most BBC shows are awesome.

Care to name some?

The only shows I watch are Top Gear and Family Guy.

I prefer to watch US TV.

Their nature programs are second to none, Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Lost Land of the Jaguar/Volcano to name a few.

Mock the Week, Have I got News for You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks are all great.

BBC's news coverage is far better than Sky.

They co-produce some great drama's with HBO like Rome.

Then they had the classics such as Fawlty Towers and Monty Python.

They also make great documentry/investigative shows.

Also, they have Newsnight, Question Time, University Challenge, Later with Jools Holland ect.

Exactly.

And don't forget That Mitchell and Webb Look. That is hilarious. And Blackadder is another BBC classic.

US TV can't come close, with a few exceptions (namely Family Guy, Futurama, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock and 24).
