Whenever we did major road trips as a kid, it was nothing for us to drive 8-10 hours a day.

Do you think it's because they aren't regular network shows?
Ooh, we appear to have gone 30 mins forward in time. Has that just happened?

I do 10-12 hours if I'm by myself. I like to cover at least 700 miles per day.
It takes about 13 hours to drive across Texas alone. I-10 is 880 miles long from the Louisiana to New Mexico border. This state is too freakin' big.
Google is being a bastard.

Tell us about it. I've had to comfort myself with an Orange Tango.

I drove from Nottingham to Skegness (which is about 100 miles) took about 2 and a half hours, that about did me in to be honest! I'd have happily had another driver to take over for me.
Then again I have a shitty Fiat Punto as well.

A show's US origin has no bearing whatsoever on its broadcasts here. The only factor is its success and genre. If it's a big drama then it's more likely to be picked up by a mainstream channel, who will bugger it around and shift it to 1:35am broadcasts in order to show British programmes. If it's a sitcom or not quite as successful then it's more likely to get picked up by a specialist or otherwise more obscure channel, who'll give it a regular slot and plenty of repeats.
