I've never understood why TV companies block access to non-US youtube users.

I would guess licensing or contractual issues, such as the scope of a license to use the background music.

Writing a story around what you can actually show to the viewer is such a basic production task that it was sort of shocking how badly they hosed it up.

The best thing about heroes was the entire first season of the guy running for Congress, and in the first episode of season two he was a senator.

I don't remember the show at all except for the crazily bad first season finale. Why was this the best thing?

Because Senators aren't Congressmen.

However the Senate is part of Congress, which is what Golden Bee actually referred to. I take it from your answer, however, that the show specified he was originally running for the House.

Also Senator's are congressman.

Weirdly, this is not the common usage in America.

Nah, you won't typically find the media referring to a Senator as a Congressman/Congresswoman, but you will frequently see them refer to a Representative that way.

In what context, out of curiosity?

The people you know talk weird, both in subject matter and phrasing.
