Do you guys have problems with the dialog to American shows sometimes? Not only do I have problems with British shows, but I have problems with American ones, too. JOAN OF ARCADIA is one (especially certain actors). I recall rewinding my video several times to get lines from BUFFY or ANGEL clearly. My hearing isn't what is used to be but I think the stress on naturalness is also a factor. That may explain the difficulty I had with Sienna Miller, an Actor's Studio student, in KEEN EDDIE (I don't know if you guys saw that short-lived show).

Can't say as I've had too many problems John. In fact the only instances I do recall revolve around British shows because of the use of local dialects like Geordie or Scouse.

I'm still rewinding the video player to get a line Eve says in Origin, I've tried about 20 times so far ;)

The sad thing is that I've had to do that with BUFFY a few times. :huh:
