Is it on any chanel on this side of the pond? 3e and viva used to have it. Does anyone know if they'll have community again

It's strange if they don't have it - most people I've mentioned it to have either watched it or have had it recommended it to them by somebody else, so it obviously has a large enough following over here. I do know that season 1 is on DVD

I completely agree, pity we aren't being catered to

The audience for US Imports has been seriously diluted by illegal streaming.

By the time these shows appear on Irish or UK Television, a significant number of the target audience (who would have tuned in 10 years ago) have already watched the shows on their computers.

It makes it much harder for these imports to deliver a decent audience to the local Broadcasters. That's why shows you would expect to see on Irish and UK Channels are not there.

The only reason most turned to piracy is due to the annoyance of having to wait weeks until certain TV shows aired here, with us being months behind our American neighbour sometimes.

If channels stopped messing around and broadcast shows close to the US date then there wouldn't be a problem.
