10 British Shows Which Perfectly Rival American Shows
Wikia

1. Made in Chelsea vs Keeping Up With the Kardashians

Both about the rich elite in big cities of the world, these two shows are comparable in the reality studies of the ridiculous luxury of the most wealthy families in the world.

2. Geordie Shore vs Jersey Shore

If you liked Jersey Shore, and are missing getting to know a gang of delinquents, head on over to Geordie Shore, where young Englishfolk try to be just as trashy and just as entertaining.

3. The Inbetweeners (British original version) vs The Inbetweeners USA

If you watched the Inbetweeners USA and liked it, I'm judging you, and if you didn't, go and watch the original English version which contains all the attitude needed for the dry jokes that the script of this British treasure demands.

4. Skins vs 90210

Drama, drugs, and death. Skins is the unwashed and less sunkissed version of 90210. You will be hooked by the second episode, and will be a slave to the show for an entire 7 seasons, so go start that binge-watch.

5. Luther vs Dexter

Luther is more human than Dexter - still a pretty messed up guy, but definitely more relatable. He solves crime while being pretty immoral himself.

6. Game of Thrones vs unjustifiable comparisons

I'm not going to even try comparing Game of Thrones to anything.

7. Peaky Blinders vs Sons of Anarchy

Not set in the same time, but the violence of Sons of Anarchy is paralleled by that in Peaky Blinders. It's a period drama, and FYI, you Americans may need some subtitles to understand those sexy accents.

8. This is England vs That 70's Show

VASTLY different shows, but set in a similar time period, which goes to show the British teenage angst in all its glory compared with the happy-go-lucky attitude of America.

9. The Jeremy Kyle Show vs Dr Phill

A similar show, with paler faces, and horrible teeth. Great late night entertainment for the whole family.

10. Misfits vs Smallville

Two shows full of magic and superheroes, but Misfits is a little more rough-and-ready, including more sex, more laughs, and a more addictive nature.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
