For all that we like to bitch and moan about the Internet Culture we've been living in for the past couple decades-- misinformation and fake news, anyone? --it has undeniably broadened our world and made things available to us like never before. Case in point? Access to televised content from around the world! No longer are we relegated to "200 channels and nothing on" (because seriously, I've  never considered the presence of dozens of shopping, religious, ancient game-show, and telenovela channels as "having something on").

Bring it on...  ~GlamKitty
