Sure, I can understand rolling your eyes or mocking, and we Americans probably even deserve it, but being frustrated is what I don't get.

Two reasons:

1: silly and illogical as it is, I feel mildly insulted that we're not seen as good enough in our own right. We love your shows and that's not quite reciprocated. ....yes I know, chip on shoulder :P

2: Some of the best things we've made won't get seen by most Americans and I think that's a shame. Like when I come on here talking about Doctor Who, or even US shows like Dexter, I want the world to see the shows I love :P
