Open to suggestion

What panel topics would induce you to watch if I was one of the panelists?

I've suggested one on space colonization with me, Charles Stross and a couple of Space Colony True Believers, as well as something related to my f/m posts.

When I was growing up, and oddly high number of my neighbours had been born in Europe with a few from Scotland and even one family from England. There were not any from the USA. For many years Americans seemed more alien. Years of exposure to American TV programming has changed this view to a certain extent.

You realise that's an open invitation to comment on the alien-ness of US TV programming?

I am okay with that. When I was young, there used to be a lot more programming from the UK, showing on Canadian stations, in proportion to what there was from the USA. Nowadays it is very heavily American with many of the Canadian shows virtually indistinguishable from their American counterparts.

I remember that in the 60's and 70's CBC Windsor could not show US shows bought by CBC so it featured a number of British shows like Doctor in the House. So ironically the Canadian city closest to an American city actually had the most British television.
