Do you get Eastenders in America? -

I was just watching it and thinking how it would go down in America, whether people would relate to it enough to want to watch it or would even be able to understand the accents. If you do get it what do you think? and are you watching it to date or are you running behind?

Very few foreign shows are seen in the US. There are a handful of British shows that have aired from time to time, primarily on PBS or BBC America. Heck we don t even get shows from Canada or Australia.The main reason that British shows don t play well in North America, is that your television schedule and ours don t mesh. Most US shows are based on a 20-24 episode season. Most British shows work on a much shorter cycle. So they re harder to fit into rotation.

Never heard of it. Basically all American shows have American actors, so it s unlikely we get it.
