I actually enjoy watching television shows from the other English speaking countries to get a feel for the accents. The Scots are a little hard to follow, but England is easy. Those of us who grew up in the 80s and had cable watched many British cartoons on Nickelodeon: Danger Mouse, Darkwing Duck, Banana Man, etc. What's next, an American version of the The Trailer Park Boys?
