Some of those shows on BBC America are almost as addictive as the stuff on MTV (Me and My Gigantic Breasts and the like, How Clean is Your House?, and yes, Top Gear) but they seem so much more hifalutin' because of the accents and the laid-back tone of British TV.

And I love Top Gear. The episode with the camper made me laugh till I cried.

I liked the more recent one where they made limos out of cars they found in England, and the "turn a car into the space shuttle" was great too. I also like their "road trip" shows.

The Brits have a very entertaining approach to t.v.
