I’ve talked a lot lately about the several business-related television programmes that I like. I’ve really enjoyed some of the shows I’ve talked about, but I’ve observed that few of my readers—if I even have any—have talked much about the shows they like or whether they like some of the shows I like. I’m curious about the shows my viewers like and whether or not they find the shows mentioned to be enjoyable.
In the UK, The Apprentice is a major thing and is possibly more significant or popular than the American version. I believe that this might be because the British version is a little bit more serious than the American version. Until he was elected president of the United States two years ago, Donald Trump hosted the American version of the programme. Many Americans found Donald Trump to be somewhat of a joke, and the show itself seemed to be more about the entertainment and the failures than the accomplishments. It is also why Celebrity Apprentice had so many seasons, and I believe that ultimately killed the programme.
On the other side, Undercover Bosses gained significantly greater popularity in America than it had in the UK for the exact opposite reason. Instead of being made for entertainment value, the show was created to highlight business leaders’ and corporations’ faults.
What do our American and British readers think about these claims? Were you better off sitting in front of a dressing table mirror with lights and watching yourself cavort instead?
