What's on the Telly?

Great question. Now that we have internet and cable (hooray!), I've been learning what to expect from British TV.

American shows that are almost always on:

• New Girl - Yes! We can continue to watch the hilarious dilemmas of Jess, Nick, Winston and Schmidt. They are only re-run episodes thus far, but I'll take it!
• The Big Bang Theory - Unfortunately, Aaron and I despise this show. I do like Jim Parsons but only because he went to USD and was my graduation speaker. If we loved it, we would be in Telly heaven because it is LITERALLY ALWAYS ON
• The Real Housewives of... something - New Jersey, Atlanta, [insert US city here]
• How I Met Your Mother - I've seen every episode but I still love this show : )
• Food Network - yes, the same shows as the US channel. They show it just to torture us with how amazing food can be...
• Hallmark Christmas Movies - these will be playing on our TV until New Years. Sorry Aaron!

A guide to British shows:

• The Only Way is Essex / Made in Chelsea - think Laguna Beach or The Hills. This follows the lives of wealthy London teenagers and their "real" drama
• Embarrassing Bodies - it's like a car accident: so bad you can't look away. This medical show takes a look at patients who have... ummm... something embarrassing that they are visiting a doctor for and broadcasts it to the world! Sounds logical to me. Let's just say British TV pushes a lot more nudity boundaries...
• You've Been Framed - UK's funniest home videos. And just like America's, they are mostly from the 80s
• Come Dine with Me - 5 people compete against each other to win 1,000 pounds. They all host and cook dinner for each other, and then vote on best food/entertainment. It's awkward and hilarious

I'm sure there are quite a few other shows left to be discovered but for now

That's all folks!
