Let's not.Originally Posted by Eric T
Do we really need any country's national dress glamorized on American TV? No, I think not. There's already enough Hollyweird types who don kilts every St. Pat's (i.e. Tony Danza) so why on earth try to saturate the airwaves with a kilted guy on a sitcom? Let's face it, if it happened, that's where (a situation comedy) you'd likely see it on television (at least here in the States).
Sorry guys, I just gotta add my two cents and say bad idea; I think we should just leave well enough alone. Do we really need to see 'soccer moms' sporting kilts and/or the cast of some soon-to-be cancelled FOX program wearing kilts as they sit and around every week and bemoan the fact that their even wealthier neighbors have more kilts than they do? I don't. Let's face it: Kilt wearing commands enough attention on its own...why turn it into syndicated fodder for the masses?
Personally, I enjoy the fact that kilts aren't a mainstream or fashionably 'common' garment; I seriously doubt they ever will be and that's fine by me.
Afterthought: Not to totally rain on this parade, but I'm of the mind that if you really want to push for this, don't parade this here in the States. Push for it with BBC, ITV, Five or Channel 4 instead. Network televison executives here in the USA would only reduce a kilt to a gag (at best).
