are the Brits...

[lobito]

as obsessed with home remodeling/gardening shows as the U.S. cable networks seems to think the citizens over here are?

I watched BBC-America today for the first time, I've had it for a while but never any interest in watching it yet. I watched changing rooms (the "american" version is trading spaces), and homefront something or other about a garden, and there must've been half the commercials for home improvement and gardening shows.

Maybe they only have them on for "us"?

I watch BBCAmerica quite a bit and I love Changing Rooms and Ground Force I don't think they would play them so frequently if they didn't have an audience for it. I know they are quite popular in the UK too...

ground force just ended, and I'll admit it's quite entertaining with that host. Changing rooms is on yet again, and later tonight, how many times per day IS it on?

I dont' think that the participants on changing rooms are quite as forgiving as the "yanks" are on trading spaces, not from the commercials for it anyway.

Changing Rooms was originally a brit program like most of your U.S. shows are.

3's Company, Sanford and Son, just to name but two.
