The timeline below shows various American TV series
that can be watched also in France -until December 2012 :
Lots of them are rather famous in France : you probably already know many of them, as "Dexter", "Medium", "NCIS", or...
Their quality varies -of course- but some of them are quite interesting : provided you view the "MULTILINGUAL" version whenever you are allowed to, watching these programmes in English will help you... improve your English !
You can put the subtitles on, which also helps you understand the series. And now... have a nice programme ! :-)

was formerly known as "The Manchester Guardian" and founded in 1821.
"The Guardian" is told to have the 2nd largest online readership of any English-language newspaper in the world (after the New York Times). On the first page of the May 5, 1821 issue, the first words published below the masthead "immortalised a lost labrador on a front page made up entirely of advertisements" ; on that day Napoleon died too -but no mention of his death for weeks.

In January 2011, "The Guardian" paper form had an average daily circulation of 279,308 copies. The newspaper identifies with centre-left liberalism ; its readership is usually on the mainstream left of the British political opinion. The daily is also influential in the design and publishing fields -it supports many awards in these domains. News replaced ads on page one only in... 1952.
Among the cartoon strips issued in "The Guardian" you'll also find...

To be honest, Justin Bieber's music gets on my nerves :-( But variety is the spice of life and... of music too I guess.
The singer's "My World Tour" page has become
the target of an internet joke :
Click here >> BBC news
to read the full article
The unexpected result of his asking his fans where to go next on his Word Tour points out -again - that the Internet not only may be full of treasures, but also... full of traps !

How far would people go ? On Wednesday night, a new "game" was on air on a French TV channel.
Click on the TV set to watch the video extract, on the BBC :
"Christophe Nick, the producer, said he was amazed that so many contestants [in the Game] followed the sadistic orders. He said that only 16 out of the 80 contestants refused to administer the electric shocks."
This "game" was based
upon Milgram's experiment.
Here is a short animation caricaturing it :
And now... would YOU be ready to do ANYTHING to be on TV ? Would YOU blindly follow ANY order ??
____________________________________________ contestant = someone who participates to a game/a race/a contest
sadistic (sadique) / upon = on / blind = that cannot see - blindly = adverb
