I quoted this story from book The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander.
"Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in, apoplectic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident prime minister admonishes him: "Peter," he says, "kindly remember Rule Number 6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes, and withdraws. The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted yet again twenty minutes later by an hysterical woman gesticulating wildly, her hair flying. Again the intruder is greeted with the words: "Marie, please remember Rule Number 6." Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and an apology. When the scene is repeated for a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleague: "My dear friend, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule Number 6?" "very simple," replies the resident prime minister. "Rule Number 6 is 'Don't take yourself so g-damn seriously." "Ah," says his visitor, "that is a fine rule." After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?"
"There aren't any."

- LBC(Lodon's biggest conversation) is my favourite radio channel. But now I don't have much time for listening radio because I am really busy writing an article in my Korean blog. So I can't keep up this English blog.

If I have an error in snetence, thanks to point out =)
I understand you wanted to learn English but that wasn't proper way.
Because you probably won't understand what am I saying.
So what's the point for writing to you by English.
So I strongly suggest that you should visit my blog http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/asrai21c or http://how2learn.tistory.com/ and then read carefully.
And I can't suggest American TV shows to you because I don't know your age and your favourite genre and etc.
That also you can find out from my blog. Because I explained about it, too.
And if you still want to find it, you should check out the Korean websites which is internet community group of American TV shows such as http://club.nate.com/24
