Community Supporter Daily Chit-Chat

[Thomas]

Well, at least they are trying. o.o;

 

[Cherrim]

Yup! And if anything, I'd think Canada would be supported next, since we already share a lot of the same channels/providers.

 

[Thomas]

Really?! I thought all y'all had was like CTV. :P Can you tell I've never been to Canada. The only shows from Canada I know are like Trailer Park Boys and Degrassi...I've only seen the latter.

 

[Cherrim]

Well, we also get FOX broadcasts, and um... I'm drawing a blank but we share other channels, I'm sure. XD

Though a lot of the time they're replaced with a Canadian equivalent. Like Comedy Network for... Comedy Central, I think it is? And Teletoon & YTV pick up the shows from Cartoon Network. Family is Disney Channel, etc.

 

[Thomas]

Well Hulu is a joint venture with Fox and NBC Universal, so you won't be seeing anything new with the FOX shows, but NBC has some awesome shows on right now: Heroes, The Office, Kath and Kim, 30 Rock, ER, Saturday Night Live...

 

[Cherrim]

I think our "Global" network is the one that runs all of those (and a bunch of FOX shows too).

So if they could just get its permission... ;;

 

[Aizuke]

lol Kath and Kim.

Should compare that to the Australian version. :|

 

[Thomas]

I wish I could see the Australian version, they say it is sooo funny. But Selma Blair and Molly Shannen pretty good as those characters.

 

[Aizuke]

I haven't watched it. XD Since having some old ladying repeatedly say, "lewk at moi" seemed annoying so that put me off. :P

 

[Thomas]

The American version isn't like that at all. Kim is wayy more annoying that Kath.

 

[Aizuke]

The American version seems more stylish I'd say.

Where as the Australia one, they look like... Bogans. XD; Not sure if you know what that word means, but they look.. Not so stylish?

 

[Thomas]

Yeah, it's sort of like what Americans would call like Rednecks? But I wouldn't call the American versions of Kath and Kim that.

 

[Aizuke]

I think Rednecks are kinda worse than bogans. XD

Should compare those too. :o

So many alternatives via American and Australian things.

 

[Thomas]

Well, different place, different kinda people. So yeah the words wouldn't translate exactly.

 

[Aizuke]

But you'd think, two english speaking countries would have similiar words and what not.

Like.. I didn't even know what a canteloupe(sp?) was. XD;;

 

[Thomas]

xD That is hilarious. I watch a lot of shows from around the world. Espcially the UK, so I try to pick up on some of the slang words....

 

[Aizuke]

Slang is easier though. Names of things are harder to realise, since they might be called something else.

Apparently cookies and biscuits are different in America, from what I've heard. Where as here, they're the same. XD;;

 

[Thomas]

Lol, yeah biscuits are definitely not cookies in America.

 

[Aizuke]

Oh. XD

We call those scones here. That is.. so weird. XDD;

 

[Thomas]

Well, no, we have scones here too, biscuits are a little different...same concept though I guess...lol...I guess it isn't like this anymore, but Biscuits are more southern...and scones are more northern....and when I say that I mean in context with the US (duh! lol)
