A fun and accessible guide to foreign television series that were
later broadcast in or adapted for the U.S., including popular
favorites such as The Office and Doctor Who.
In Broadcast in the U.S.: Foreign TV Series Brought to America,
Vincent Terrace delivers a wonderful resource of over 400 foreign
television shows broadcast in the United States, along with their
American adaptations. From British comedies like Fawlty Towers and
Keeping Up Appearances to the Australian fantasy series The Girl from
Tomorrow and the Japanese cartoons Astro Boy and Kimba, the White
Lion, this book explores an often-overlooked side of American
television and popular culture. Each entry includes details regarding
the cast, genre, episodes, U.S. and foreign networks, broadcast dates,
storylines, and trivia.
Containing information not easily found anywhere else, such as unsold
script proposals, internet TV series, and unaired pilots, this first
and only guide to foreign television series broadcast in the U.S. is a
valuable reference for all fans of television history.
