I have just watched on BBC America and observed the 2 minutes silence in memory of the victims of last weeks London bombings.

At the moment all the TV networks in 'Merica are bringing there seasons to a close. Nothing to unusual I suppose, particularly if you're from here and used to it, but to me it's pretty bizarre that so many TV shows come to an end at the same time.
