Oh... my... god... they exported Lost in Space to other countries? It's a true wonder that we have -- erm, had -- any credibility left in the world even prior to the Shrub presidency.

Baron, you'd be surprised. We got all the Irwin Allen series down here. Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel, Voyage Beneath the Sea (some of these names may be off because I know them by their names in Portuguese), all of which I watched as a kid. We got just about every series that ever was on American television, from the Muppets to Dallas, except the Brady Bunch and Beaver.
Most of the stuff produced from the 90s onwards, like Buffy or Babylon V, is only available on cable though. And cable is still expensive - not horrendously expensive as it was a few years ago, but still expensive - so I don't have it.
Heh, if you had inserted some subliminal pro-American propaganda into those shows back then, you'd have taken over the world without even trying.
