These American programmes piss me off, as they always show their lack of general vocabulary. Why do they always talk about sex as "sex" - never bonking, shagging, screwing or any witty metaphor, its just always "sex"

No, listen to the language used, the only term they can use to express it is "sex" or "have sex" You never hear anyone in these American programmes even saying "I'm going to get laid tonight!" its always "I'm going to have sex tonight!" One day I look forward to an American comedy where a character talks about sinking sausage, or poking porksword - but until then it'll be "hey, did you have sex last night?" "Sure, I had sex!"

Yep - you never hear it - "Hey" says one of those limp characters out of Friends, "Guess who's going to be having sex tonight? " Huge whooops from thick TV audience!!

It's because they haven't got the brains to understand anything that isn't presented in capital letters and underlined. That's why irony is totally lost on them. A life without irony - can you imagine? Sheer hell.

I can't have people slagging off one of my favourite programmes without the right of reply. Just watch the programme I say, before forming judgements. However, I did notice in last week's trailer a frozen head (human!) in Mrs McLusky's freezer, which rather put me off my bed-time cocoa.
Note to GC : Dougray Scott (Ian, Susan's boyfriend) turned up unexpectedly in the film "Enigma" about the Enigma coding machine. He was the (very strange) hero!

I have, judgement formed, garbage - my wife and son find it compulsive viewing though (which is why I've watched it)

If you're son is the typical (alpha) male I am sure he finds the sight of Eva Longoria's contours quite compulsive!
