    And before that, it was American sitcoms. I know a Ugandan family who immigrated to the US back in '70s. The kids spoke flawless English just from watching "I Love Lucy" reruns!

    Phil, he's talking about that sci-fi movie where aliens came to Earth and spoke in TV sound bites and commercial metaphors. From the perspective of the aliens, it was "perfect" English. :)
