Australian shows aired in america/england???

Question

does anyone know if any australian shows like australian idol, australia's next top model, so you think you can dance australia or thank god you're here are aired over seas?

Answer 1

Most Australian Shows aired overseas are like "Neighbours", "Home & Away", "Blue Water High", "The Wiggles", "Hi5",  "H20 - just add water", "Cybergirl" etc. So most of the Australian shows being aired overseas are children's shows.

Answer 2

No not shows like that. If you think about it, those shows are just copies from American Idol and America's Next top model. So other countries would have their own versions. Same goes for so you think you can dance.

Why anyone would want to watch any of these shows is beyond me.

I think some crappy, pointless story-line, low budget, terrible acting soap operas like neighbours and home and away are broadcasted in other countries though.

Answer 3

No I wouldn't think they'd have those ones you mentioned, because they are just Australian versions of American shows already. They have their own.

But I think Home & Away and Neighbours is broadcasted to a couple other countries. They seem to like it more than we do, lol.

Answer 4

No we have our own versions.

Edit: which is why i said no, they don't air over here because we have our own versions.

Answer 5

The United States has American Idol, Americas Next Top Model, and So You Think You Can Dance

Answer 6

Mythbusters is made in San Francisco but it was conceived and financed in Australia.  Most of the administration is in Australia.

Then there is of course dear old Neighbours which seemed to have a lot more fans in the UK than it did in Australia.  I would not know if it's still running because I don't watch much TV and specially not stuff like that.
