What are some American TV shows that are broadcasted in Ireland (If any)?

Question

Another question is how much does American culture especially politics affect Ireland? (If it does at all)

And how much are you paying for gas? (or petrol as you might call it)

If I calculated it right, $4.00/gal of unleaded is equivalent to 1.48 Euro/Liter (or litre as you would spell it) =)

I know it's kind of random but I'm very curious so thank you for answering, and thank you for your time!!! =)

Answer 6

We have tonnes of American shows.

The politics does impact in Ireland in that the crises America has created are global.

The petrol is about 3 times more expensive than America from what I saw on CBS

I have never heard anyone use the phrase 'buck' in real life. 'Quid' is more common.

Answer 7

Yes- Simpsons, Oprah, Dr. Phil, Malcolm in the Middle, Family Guy, they have MTV, you won't be at a loss for US shows.

dont' say bucks- everyone will correct you and tell you Euros.  

Answer 8

Lost is one.There are 3.82 litres in a US gallon.Not really.

Answer 9

I'm sick to death of American TV, the only one I watch is Ugly Betty, but we have them all.

I don't think American culture affects Irish politics, money affects Irish politics.  If that money is coming from the US then it will affect it, but thats about all.

In Dublin petrol has actually gone down to €1.29 a litre, which is €5.86 a gallon. That's $9.15.  (its more expensive in rural areas)

And we would never call money a buck, a buck is an animal .  I remember I found that strange when I was in the US, but I got used to it pretty quickly. LOL.  Slang term for money is a quid or some real Dubs say 'Aero' instead of euro. But that could be a regional thing.
