BBC America on iTunes USA

For each TV show Britain gives USA iTunes should add one more American tv show to the UK store, coz us brits have nothing to watch and we rely on you supersize-burger eating people for entertainment.

Sarcasm?

What exactly of ours did you want to watch?

Here's what I watch:

Stargate SG-1, Canadian, Cancelled
Stargate Atlantis, Canadian
Battlestar Galactica, Canadian
Torchwood, UK
Dr. Who, UK
Robin Hood, UK
Life, US, Cancelled
Journeyman, US, Cancelled

I really don't know of any shows of ours you'd actually want to watch. American Idol?

The grass is ALWAYS greener... :eek:

They aren't legally allowed to show the UK version outside of Britain. In fact they aren't even allowed to sell it in the UK. It's to do with the music they use on the show, they only have UK broadcast rights to it. It's rather retarded because I have bought several tracks off iTunes (and even a CD or 2) after hearing it on Top Gear first, I know of others that have down similarly. So you would have thought they could have worked out a deal with however owns the rights to the music.

Although I guess they might put the crippled version on iTunes, which the rest of the world gets.
