And I agree with your point. Some pundit from outside the US remarked you can always turn on the TV and find a program about sharks and Hitler. Add poker to the list. I sure as hell would have taken advantage of its popularity.

Maybe if it were set in the States, or Vegas, but Texas Hold'em just wouldn't be right in that setting, unless there were American Idol contestants and Nascar involved in the plotline.......................
