I have a secret, one that I'm a bit embarrassed to divulge: I'm hooked on 'Hannah Montana'. I've got the theme song stuck in my head. It's been there for the past week. When you don't have satellite TV (should think about getting that fixed), your viewing options include CCTV 1-infinity, International Channel Shanghai, and that is pretty much it. CCTV 9 and ICS are the only channels with shows in English. Other channels may have western movies and programs, but dubbed into Chinese, most memorably, 'Growing Pains'.
One thing that I really love about 'Hannah Montana' is the hostess who introduces the show as a way of learning English and western culture. She highlights certain phrases like 'selling out', 'cheerleading', and 'sick as a dog'. It's interesting to think how this show may color a Chinese person's idea of America.
