Trust me, Americans know only two types of TV: American TV and Downton Abbey.

American
viewers, maybe. TV Execs are a different deal, obviously, as 'let's look at succesful TV shows in other markets and make a US version' isn't exactly uncommon -
The Killing,
Homeland and
In Treatment are three that come to mind off the top of my head.

British TV. Six episodes is par for the course. Moffat is obviously pretty well regarded in British TV (ever since
Coupling, I think). Never liked
Coupling that much - like most British sitcoms, I just feel kind of spent on it by the time I hit the second season - so never saw anything else he did.
