Originally Posted By avimagine I've watched all of US, all of UK, all of Aus, some of Russia, I wanna see the rest of Russia. Is that what you call a fan? I don't think QI will be picked up stateside ever sadly I mean Comedians on a panel show answering hard questions. I guess it isn't quite football in the groin.

QI is one of my fav programmes ever, it is a little like a dinner party without food.

I recall watching some of those British shows on the tube here growing up (We get a mixture of programming from Aus/Can/US/UK or at least used to). I recall shows where adults would ask a panel of kids some questions and get an answer. I also found on archive.org US used to do this type of things. In Korea/Philippines/China/etc Variety Shows are still common, they pretty much died here. With a few exceptions like the "Amanda Show" or Sonny with a Chance on Disney. They seemed to die around the time I came online (a few years after you) I'm the GI Joe/ First Gen Transformers era kid. Panel shows seem alive and well in Buzzcocks I mean UK. Here I think outside of Sports there isn't too many panel shows left. (At least popular ones). But archive.org has quite a few of them from the 50's and 60's.
