This is my absolute favourite programme of the moment..I happened upon it last week and have watched it about 3 times this week. I saw the UK version a couple of months ago, which was about the Ann Summers boss. Thought it was ok but a bit watery compared to the USA version, plus I'm not the biggest fan of A.S, not that I'm against anyone buying tacky underwear etc etc, more about having issues with their advertising campaigns in busy high streets (with lots of kids).
I think what impressed me about the yanks, during my previous time working as an Au Pair, was a) their pride in being American, and b) the encouragement and celebration of the fruits of hard work. In this country, if you are not already down, you are not too far away from a cynic who will put you down!
Absolutely love the tears when the bosses realises that they have some cracking employees and havn't so far done them proud..and that these same employees get the recognition they deserve, plus a good old wad of cash to help them in their ambitions (eg, to put their children through college, to enlarge a family home, to study, to pay off study loans etc.)
Heartwarming stuff...different from the depressing garbage churned out by the brits in the daytime (and the yanks are good at garbage also, just better at some things than we are.)
The brits are not all bad..after U.B.U.S,A, there is A Place is the Sun....Ah, if only.....!
