Those US TV cliches in full

My colleague Anna Pickard has an excellent blogpost, American TV: fact or fiction , on the various myths about life in America propagated over the years by US television: All that US TV had helped me construct an Eye Spy Book of Things That Are Really Really American in my head – an amalgamation of years of US sitcoms, dramas and reality television had provided me with a checklist of things to do in order to look like a real local (or a television local, at any rate). Our US readers may like to have a look at the post's comment thread for what our British readers are interested in – and some of the strange ideas they have about life in America. Especially their low opinion of US cheeses.
