Does anyone else watch this station? I have found some extremely funny shows like top gear which at one point the other night i had tears streaming down my face, the inbetweeners which is also hillarious as is the graham norton show. Doctor who and the survivors are also solid.

Love BBCAmerica. Top Gear is just an awesome show. NBC wanted to introduce an American version of it, but they pulled the plug on it last minute. They even asked Leno if he would host it, but he felt they wouldn't do the English version.

Regardless, wonderful programming on BBC America. If you ever get a chance to see a re-run of Coupling, check that one out too. The British version of Friends.

Coupling is vastly superior to Friends. Coupling to Friends is like cream soda to muddy tap water.

I don't usually watch BBC America, because if they have something on worth watching, I've already watched it online. BBC America only airs stuff from a week to a year later than it was aired in the UK.

Top Gear is the best kept secret in the medium. That show is indescribably good. Whenever I attempt to explain it to someone, I can't do it justice. How do you describe the show as a comedy,auto review,skills contest, variety show with celebrities?

did you see the one where they make the electric car and it breaks down in the middle of a busy street I was dying from laughing so hard.

I watch Dr. Who on BBC America. Also Torchwood. I think Doctor Who season ending episode from last season broke every BBC America record for ratings. If it wasn't for those 2 shows I probably wouldn't watch it much. There are a couple funny comedies on as well.
