The problem with America's "representation" in the rest of the world is that they get our BAD TV Shows, which highlights the dregs of our society. When we were in Ireland and Scotland, we would see American TV shows like Jerry Springer, Maury, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Judy, etc. These shows, while entertaining, give the impression to less discerning individuals that "all Americans are like that".
Please know, we are not and that we here in America generally look down on those shows as 'drivel' at worst and / or mindless entertainment at best. It's not taken seriously here and is a shame that this is what's 'exported' from our country.
HOPEFULLY the DD series won't be exported. If it is, I sincerely apologize on behalf of those who are embarrassed by this.
Parallel... it's kind of like having a weird uncle who is coming to Christmas dinner at your girlfriend's parent house. All we can do is cringe and apologize and hope they don't think less of the rest of us.
