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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
