-More rugby than one could possibly ever need to watch.
-Cricket. Specifically, a match of South Africa vs. Afghanistan. Seriously, is there THAT much demand for that here? Can I also say that I have NO clue how cricket is played. Matches can go on for WEEKS. If you think a 14 inning baseball game is bad...
-One evening I flipped to a channel where tall, gangly women were playing a game where they had to toss a ball into a basket on a tall post. Basketball, you might ask? No no, there was no dribbling involved. I had to sit around until the break to discover this was Netball.
-Australian Idol is AWFUL.
-A music game show that involved contestants singing words from a bagel cookbook to the tune of a famous song. Teammates had to guess the song. Meatloaf was a guest contestant.
-Master Chef... a show essentially like Top Chef, except episodes air five days a week, or something equally crazy. It's kind of like when Who Wants to Be a Millionaire became so popular that ABC had the brilliant idea to air it at every possible moment.
-ABC Family shows air on Fox here. Weird, right?
-American Idol is the ONLY show from the states that airs with any kind of consistency of when it airs in the US. It comes on just a few hours after it does back home. I believe everything is else is at least a couple of weeks behind. Thank God for IP address blockers that allow me to keep up with LOST.
-I'm pretty sure The Simpsons is on about 12 times a day. I won't complain about that.
I'll update this as I discover more... and likelihood is high that I will not be paying for TV when I move into my new place. haha.
