Cruelty to Anglophones

Why? Why? Why would TF1 make Heroes and Grey's Anatomy available in English on the TNT but not Ugly Betty?

What, do they think that just because they show "Le destin de Lisa" (German version of Ugly Betty) in French, then they have to show the American version in French, too?

Don't they understand that it's totally NOT funny in French, and that the US version is FUNNY?

As far as I am concerned, Amanda and Marc are the funniest characters with the best dialogue and it just does NOT work in French.

Thank goodness for those nice people who upload all the latest US TV shows to the Internet so those of us subject to the cruelty of watching shows dubbed in French have other options.
