Absolutely! i thought Seinfeld was (once upon a time) charming, with
tales of revenge on one's boss, waiting for a table, picking a movie. But
Seinfeld, David and NBC could not say "No Mas" (unlike Cleese or Atkinson,
although Red Dwarf looks like it has caught the American disease). The
economic explanation for the difference is too obvious to mention.
