Australian telvevision is completley influenced by the American culture. The hit shows are either directly from America or influenced by them to become an Australian version.

Examples of this are The Simpsons, Australian Idol wich was adopted from American Idol and Two and a Half Men.

American culture influenced Australian fashion in many ways after world war two Australia and America were like "buddies" America had a rock and roll evolution in the 1960's and this soon hit Australia with johnny o keefe becoming Australia's own Elvis. The teenage rebellion was raging and many fashion influences also came from America. Television was also another influence as most of the programs aired on television were American and this rubbed onto australians and their programs....

hope i helped even just a little bit...

In a word - minutely. Whilst it could be argued that sports like cricket and rugby have taken on some American aspects in terms of promotion and televised coverage, the essence of the sports remain British. It is important to note here that forms of Baseball were played in Britain long before the establishment of the United States and Gridiron is a derivation of rugby so perhaps a more pertinant question would be how have British sports influenced American culture. Anyhoo ... to go back to your question ... the only American sport to have a tangible impact on Australian culture is Basketball. In the eighties NBA games were televised on Australian television and developed quite a following. The local professional league, the NBL, was well attended and televised during this period and into the next decade however since the turn of the millennium basketball in Australia has seen a sharp decline in popularity. It would best be considered a minority sport today, comparable with lawn bowls and netball. The biggest impact American sports have had on Australia would be in the field of merchandise and sports apparel. Coupled with the hip-hop culture, baseball and basketball hats/singlets carry cultural attachments to US culture. Sports brands such as Nike and Reebok have a noticeable influence in general. Perhaps Australian culture has yet to take much from American sports due to the exclusive nature of them. 'World Series' competitions contested purely by American teams hardly offer countries like Australia a pathway to playing these sports at the top level. Australia is used to international competition in sports like rugby and cricket and American sports do not really offer the same breadth or regularity of international competition.

In the late 18th century Great Britain establish colonies in Australia, so the European/English culture widely influences Australia today. However, Australians do take great pride in their aboriginal culture.

The English culture influenced Australia through a number of ways:

  • language - Australians primarily speak English, and follow the UK style of spelling
  • religion - Australia was founded on Christianity, and Christianity is still the major religion in Australia today
  • politics - Australia's government is based on the Westminster system

American popular culture began to influence Australian society with the advent of television in Australia in 1956. For the first time, Australians could actually see how Americans lived, not just read about it. Most of the early shows came from the USA and depicted "typical" American homes, families and lifestyle. Music also became more appealing as it was accompanied by visual images, and Australian teenagers were keen to emulate the Americans.
