because they wanted that so they could further the gross american reputation. Were the superpower so it's ok to pick on us.

Oh well, everyplace has it's share of gross people.

All I want is their show on TV over here, having a US version would just be castrated by the lawyers and clueless broadcast execs anyways. Put another way, nothing is as good as the original.

Hmm, according to Wikipedia, Season 12 ended in the UK w/ the Vietnam special (which was awesome!!!) so I'm not sure what numbering system they are using on BBC America. It's supposed to return in Spring 2009, maybe as late as June.

The ones on BBC America are often the right season, but they're generally a few months behind.
