I've talked a lot about an english show called QI in here and no one seems to have known it before. It's by far my favourite.

well as an Englishman myself... I do certainly know QI and I love it too! Do you prefer Stephen Fry or Sandi Toksvig as a host?

When it was Stephen Fry and he was being switched, I thought "Ohh no, how would anybody be able to do it better", but in my mind, she actually does just that. And it helps that Alan Davies has taken to her. They are doing great together. How do you feel about it? Do you prefer Stephen or Sandi?

Well I personally preferred Stephen... although I do think that Sandi does a good job. Stephen Fry is just incomparable to anyone in my mind. How do you watch it? Is it on the BBC world service or something?

Stephen is a national hero in England, so I understand your feeling. I just think Sandi is not as knowledgably distanced from the panel. It's like she plays along and laughs at the facts as well. I like that about her. And of course, that she brings in facts about Scandinavian countries. I'm from Denmark. However I don't think many danes know Sandi Toksvig...
I watch the episodes on Youtube.

yes he absolutely is... I forgot that Sandi was danish so of course you like her haha... but I see your point about being less aloof perhaps. Oh on YouTube, that makes sense. Do you get BBC world service though, on a separate note?

I'm not drawn to Sandi just because she is danish. She could be french for that matter. It's her relaxed persona I'm drawn to :-)
BBC world we would have to pay extra for in Denmark. We don't do that in my family, so Youtube it is

Idk if it airs outside the US, but The Hub, now known as Discovery Family, is a television channel that mainly airs cartoons and is probably most famous for My Little Pony
Where can I check that out?
If you mean where can you check out the show, the only real way to do so nowadays would be to go to a website called Kiss Cartoon and search for “Dan Vs.” on there

Elite on Netflix. It doesn’t seem to be very popular though I really enjoyed it.

Also Your Lie in April - a romance/drama/music anime. It gave me some serious feels. It is still on Netflix last I checked.

I'm a massive fan of Skins (the original UK version not the terrible US remake) and I'm shocked at how many people, even fellow Brits, who've never heard of it. It's on Netflix for anyone who wants to give it a go - you'll find a lot of familiar faces who got their start on the show.

3rd Rock From The Sun. From the mid-90's. The cast is great, it is fucking hilarious. It's about aliens researching the human race and Earth in general. It's stupid but soooo funny

I've seen some of that, quite fun. Also fun to see a very young Joseph Gordon-Levitt on that show, I guess he was 12 or something. xD

King of Queens is pretty awesome... also love Two and a Half Men, but mostly just the older episodes with Charlie Sheen in them... for shows that are going on right now I like Goldbergs... 80’s music and culture is awesome, seems like it would have been a fun time to grow up

"Hopalong Cassidy" It's an old TV western show which was on TV in the 1950's. Hopalong Cassidy's real name is William Boyd. I saw a couple episodes on TVLand. It's interesting.

The girl on that was attractive; not much of an actress though. But she didn't need to be; she was an attractive female.
