Arrested Development - I just got to the 'Brit' episodes...

Painful!! Charlize Theron cannot do a British accent, and the guy who is in the scenes with her is even worse - he veers from 'American-doing-Cockney' to Australian in one sentence. I've reached the point where I've had to mute those scenes. I don't think I'll watch Season 3 again, and it's a shame because I love the show. Why can't American TV shows portray Brits properly?

Or Irish people come to that (I cringed throughout the Good Wife Saint Patrick's Day episode!)

For British eyes only.......

Ugh, don't!

[MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges]

To be honest I think the accents were meant to be terrible - they do actually reference it.

Mr F!

Oh I hope so. I couldn't stand it and muted the fake Brit scenes, so maybe I missed the references!

I thought is was supposed to be a parody of the cliched Brit portrayals in american programs. Even thought I still found it a bit painful to watch/hear.

Not as bad as the Bones episode. That was every cliche rolled out. Of course whenever you hire a car here you end up with an old style mini....... oh look there's tower bridge......... and some red buses............. and we must make a joke about bad teeth..........
