ppl need to stop being lazy and give reasons for their answers!11

[Munex]

I tried to answer the list but gave up. American entertainment is completely different from British entertainment. I like both. If I had to chose, I'd lean towards the UK for television and the US for films. I'm pretty undecided on the rest.

The world power question has to be the UK.The US is massive and isn't that much more powerful than the UK.

[Southe,]

Blunt Answers.

Music: UK - Iron Maiden/Queen/Led Zepplin
Movies: UK - Hollywood is full of bad films and crappy remakes.
Actors: UK - Just prefer UK actors
Books: UK - Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, Peter Pan, Sherlock Holmes, Gulliver's Travels etc was all from UK
History: UK - Just more interesting imo
Authors: UK - See books
World Power (compared to size): UK we had almost quarter of the world at one point in our empire.
Comedy: UK - Prefer Brittish comedy and Billy Connolly/Ricky Gervais are my fave stand ups.
Pre-teen TV: Is this meant to be cartoons? if so then US.
Teenage TV: If TWD and Breaking Bad count as teenage then US.
Celebrities: Celebrity Status means nothing to me.
Talent shows: Not interested.
Culture: UK
Landmarks: UK - Have more history to back up our Landmarks.
Add my own one in
Games: Grand Theft Auto is made in Scotland, But Rockstar is owned by an American Company. So dunno if that counts as UK or US.

As you can see its mostly UK. Now, if it has had been UK vs The world then the results would have been different.
