some people have asked me what dutch tv is like. it's actually not that bad! we have some cable service so we get a nice variety of channels.

CNN international
animal planet
discovery channel
jetix (if you have a young boy you know what channel this is)
nickelodeon
cartoon network
comedy central (which is not exactly like our comedy central - it shows occasional episodes of the daily show, south park, and sarah silverman, but mostly other comedies like scrubs and that 70's show)
as well as a lot of dutch channels, some of which have really low budget knock offs of our game shows.

all of the american kid's channels are all dubbed in dutch yet the children watch them happily. other comedy shows on dutch tv like the simpsons and family guy are in their regular voice with subtitles.

i have also seen a few movies in english (with dutch subtitles) - flight plan is the only one i can remember even though it was so bad i wish i could forget it.
