Thanks for the information about bounty hunters, it helped me to answer my son's questions. He then asked if everyone in USA was like Dog. I said that I didn't think so, he must have been imagining a country filled with men dressed in black and women with impossibly large breasts. I told him to think of other shows from USA and think of the people in them. He mentioned American Chopper - more large than life characters, he then thought of Malcolm in the Middle a kid's show about a dysfunctional family. It set me thinking, if our knowledge of another country is influenced by the television, what do people in USA think we are like in UK?
