All she said was that international viewers, as a whole, would likely not be as familiar with some of the US Television references. Yes you get a lot of US TV but it still isn’t the same. I think you overestimate how “saturated” you are with US TV, because guess what? It still isn’t as much US viewers are saturated with US TV. :D

It just isn’t the same thing, so don’t look for reasons to be insulted. I wouldn’t be insulted if a UK reviewer said that some show was likely not to be appreciated as much by a foreign audience(and I have seen that in some reviews, UK reviewers thinking a show is very “British”).

I watch a lot of UK tv shows through downloading and cable, I have since I was a kid, but I still wouldn’t expect to be as familiar as someone who actually LIVES with it in the culture which created it and who sees stories about it on all the entertainment shows and in all the entertainment magazines.

Once again, let me say, that the comment people keep referring to had nothing to do with my thoughts about the sophistication of international viewers. It was in reference to some very specific American TV injokes. I watch a lot of British TV, but Graham Norton often makes references to Brit shows and the audience laughs, so I know I’m not getting the joke. It’s not insult to my intelligence or the quality of his show – it’s a cultural reference and I don’t get it because I haven’t been brought up on those shows.

Cynthia I beg to differ in your comment about international viewers not understanding the subtlety of the show…

Being an international viewer myself, so far nothing this amazing show has thrown at me was misunderstood, in fact, the more they the more I love it.

Also, just a small comment the fan base of Supernatural out of the USA is big, I mean – huge – and I’m only talking the SPN Brazil fanatical and rabbit fan..

So Cynthia tks for your concern, but I do believe we – international viewers – would be able to grasp the meaning and the complexity of this show, otherwise we would be watching Grey’s Anatomy or Gossip Girls!!!

Have a nice weekend.

“international viewers aren’t going to pick up on the nuances”

Really? You seriously underestimate how saturated we “international viewers” are with U.S. programming.

I’m looking forward to brotherly hijinks with the cute Winchester brothers and that pretty-boy angel!

OK…my friends have a saying that goes ”Junk In The Trunk”, so the fangirls liking Dean digging in the trunk…means that Dean is going to be checking Sam’s trunk…as in his ARSE!Lol. I don’t think you mean Dean checking the trunk of his impala.

I can’t wait to see the episode! I watch CSI:MIAMI and actually it’s more cartoonish and humorous than dramatic. I love it that they’re doing a parody of this show. I can’t stand Grey’s, it was actually a good show a long time ago but now it’s just a sappy soap opera filled with annoying characters. Supernatural is more creative, original and entertaining.
