Yes, "American Television" is an easy subject to parody, but shall we take a look at the kind of fare that passes as entertainment in Ben Lee's native Australia? Does our programming truly not stack up to the cheeky soap Neighbours or high concept medical drama The Flying Doctors? How about the nearly indescribably Aunty Jack? So, you go ahead, Ben Lee, and make fun of such beloved institutions as Alf and Doogie Howser, M.D. and Sweatin' To The Oldies and even the old Crazy Eddie ads (Free Eddie Antar!). Go ahead and drag the lovely and talented TV icon Tiffani Amber Thiessen into your hateful clip of lies and then license the song to Vh1 to promote their new slate of shows. We're a proud nation. Or, at the very least we're shameless. We can take it. --> watch "American Television"
