What tv programs are popular in your country?

[Deidre]

In our house: Say Yes to the Dress. My wife's kinda addicted. Also: any show that involves building tiny houses.

Other shows that seem popular (in my group of friends, anyhow):

- Game of Thrones
- Walking Dead
- Bates Motel
- Mythbusters (though I was kinda disappointed by the series finale)
- The Rick Mercer Report

The last one is a Canadian comedy news magazine-type show. The closest you have on American TV is the Daily Show, but that doesn't really capture it.

Bates Motel...do you like it? It looks curious.

Yep, I watched the first few shows and decided it was made for teens. Perhaps now I will take a second look.

Oh you definitely should. At one point every episode just trumped the previous one, I'm up to 9 now and it blew me away it was dark and fantastic.
I think it's around episode 6-7 that it starts to turn. But I suppose it depends on your taste, Personally I enjoyed it right off the bat but I seem to be a minority. Most people hated the beginning, but are loving where it is now.

The show, and apparently the books, are very heavy into the message of disillusionment. That's why I think the first episodes are the way they are, Because they need the contrast for later on.

Bates Motel...do you like it? It looks curious.

Yeah. It's really well done and appropriately creepy.

Yeah. It's really well done and appropriately creepy.

I caught a glimpse of it the other night, and it looked so interesting. Once I'm through the seasons of GOT, I may watch this. I was never much of a series watching fan but there seem to be lots of good writing (some brilliant) out there.
