| Monkey See, Monkey Not Do Right . . . .
I have been watching BBC America for quite some time and I see in their latest batch of International image upgrades no sense of reality.
They are copying old, bad, American television concepts and practices. So it only goes that they should be botching this.
In this day and age of innovation an entity such as the BBC is falling way short on intelligent design and just copying and not copying the good stuff.
Good try on all, but try again. And again. Until you get it right. Better yet. Just stop. It's embarrassing. |

2 edits | Thier programming looks like the US stuff from the 80's, when it was a lot better than now.
Theres like 1-2 shows a week I like to watch off our networks. Looks like Id like to watch a lot more of thier stuff, yah the grass is greener ...
Since BBC is a public funded entity, I guess I dont qualify to watch them.
Even the US networks that have online shows started thier video services on limited platform, then (some) expanded to cover others. I like the ABC player the best so far, now that they support Vista, too bad all thier shows suck.

As far as the DRM, I dont care as long as I can watch what I want, I dont expect to be able to own someone elses IP for free.

BBC America shows programmes that have never been on the BBC, its totally different. |

| Yes. I know. They area based out of New York. BUT, the mindset is still there.
Oh and yes, a good portion of the programs have been aired in the UK. It may not have been on the BBC (resurrecting what was once considered dead programming), but they were aired in the UK. If you read the BBCA forums you will see that UK viewers are hoping that they will get the whole series this time. Or are mad that we get a added episodes that weren't aired there. So it is not exclusive programming for the US. And you'd think they could count from 1-20?! Not so by the way they schedule series.
I would suggest that the BBC have them drop the BBC tag, and go with something like CRPAmerica. Because it is only supporting a lost and pathetic cause. |
