> Brits don't insult your intelligence too greatly in their [..] shows
That's a very way to express that idea. I'll be reusing that, if you don't mind.. :-) I've always expressed it more crudely as having the feeling of being forcefully lobotomized by the producers..
As in: those shows don't insult your intelligence by presenting something impossible or untruthful as a fact, and by assuming that the viewer will be too intellectually challenged to question anything spoon fed to him.
You'll know when you see a show or a broadcast that gives you the impression your brain is leaking out of your ears.
