There is not another country on earth (I don't think) with the kind of military-industrial capability mixed with the sense of humor and the need to feed the entertainment beast and sell soap to the masses.

Mythbusters. Not usually very entertaining, but today, very interesting.

The US is great, yes, but I don't think we have the market cornered on that sort of stuff. Actually, I've seen some insane stuff on Top Gear and another show who's name escapes me that's hosted by the Hamster, Brian Hammond. Rocket powered ski jumping Mini, amphibious cars, car-skeet, etc....
