I CAN'T WATCH THE GAME

A lot of the streams now require you to dload software. I've found the odd link that doesn't.

Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs

Yeah, the British version came first. I actually don't mind what I've seen of the American one, and it seems like a pretty good adaptation, but I'd prefer to spend my time watching one of the many great American shows that I haven't already seen with different accents and actors. :'D

Well to clear up the well received part, I was talking purely about series run time, and over here it trounces the UK version.
I might re-watch the UK version of The Office.

And here I thought I was slowly getting used to Scottish pronunciation. And then Jack posted that vid.

To be fair, I think that's more due to differing attitudes in TV production than any real reflection on popularity. The Office was huge over here, both critically and in terms of popularity, but most British sitcoms only run for a handful of short seasons irrespective of their success or lack thereof. Whereas I think the attitude in American TV is to keep cranking out series as long as you can hold the main crew together and remain popular. :'D

Come over here and find yourself a job working at a job centre. You'll soon get used to accents like that.

I guess that's why a lot of our shows are remakes.
Don't tell me there is another CSI in the UK

Oh, the hilarity that would ensue.

Hee, not that I know of. Though for British crime drama, I was always fond of Jonathan Creek.

On this note, actually, I'm kind of glad to see that they're leaving Breaking Bad at five seasons. Better for it to end strong than be dragged out into mediocrity.

I would so want to be there when it happens...but then they'd pick on my accent,

Sheik: *laughing*

I think I have seen one of those episodes (Jonothan Creek), but that was a while ago, and I really can't remember if I slept halfway through it or not.

Never got around to watching Breaking Bad.

They'd probably think you were Polish, as our biggest Eastern European immigrant population comes from there, and people tend to assume any accent from that part of Europe is a Polish one. And that wouldn't end well, as every bigoted, intolerant British person knows that the Polish are stealing all of our jobs.
