      Yes, and it was televised even in Germany. But that’s not the point. The post is US defaultism par excellence, not because it depicts US-american TV shows but because it defaults to a US-american perspective and audience on an international platform.

        So have millions of other shows, but that doesn’t change any of their origins, FFS.
