I'll admit it, I'm addicted to this show. I find myself strangely fascinated by Gypsy and Traveler culture.
Anyone else admit to watching this show?

YES.
Cracks me up how they "translated" the original British version into an American accent for the TLC version.

Now Nesting from Chicago, IL My nail blog:
Seriously? They translated it? Into what accents??
I love this show. I also love how they do sort of a weird ethnographic study of it. Like one week it was 'marrying outside of traveller culture', etc. I'm such a sociology nerd. Even for cheap trashy television!
The narrator was changed to an American narrator. And they had subtitles sometimes when the person was particularly hard to enjoy. I have been watching this season on Channel 4od and am enjoying it for the reasons you said, it is more in depth than before.
I always find it hilarious when they provide English subtitles for somebody who is speaking English!
I haven't had any interactions (negative or otherwise) with gypsies or travelers in my time in the UK, but a lot of my British friends have :-( Yep, I think "safely from my own living room" is a good description. And yes, it's definitely fascinating!!!
How do you get channel 4 here?
I just saw this, sorry! We have a UK IP address we pay for!
