as time goes by

last of the summer whine

chef

are you being served?

keeping up appearances

fawlty towers

red dwarf

waiting for god

were those shows as big in the uk as they are in the u.s.??? i've often wondered about that...

i know, i really need to get out more...:p

[RiSe & ShIne]

Keeping up appearances was pretty big

[KinkyRed]

Red Dwarf has cult status in the UK

[hardcorps1775]

dwarf is hilarious. "bloody smeghead!"

i always felt kinda sorry for the bucket woman. :)

i really like "as time goes by". they have these moments that are so gut wrenchingly melancholy. their depictions of yanks are so funny sometimes...i can't believe how stereotypical they are!
:crazyeyes

i think about all these shows we get from you guys and then about the shows we send you like "dallas" and "bay watch" and i wonder why you've never declared war on us!hahahahaha

I think all of those shows were pretty big! Although I've never seen Waiting For God, but maybe its an age thing :-/ Did they show Absolutely Fabulous in the USA?

hehe you send us crap like Dallas but you also send us good things, like Friends and ER :yes:

my god, why in the name of comedy is blackadder not in that list?!

Didnt blackadder go completely tits up in America cos they couldnt understand our humour?

[hardcorps1775]

holy shit, forgot all about blackadder! 1,2,3, and 4...i've got the whole series on dvd!

and "yes minister" and "yes, prime minister" probably the 2 best comedies ever done on gov't bureaucracies, both brit and u.s.

you know, i can't think of one dud series we have gotten from the uk except for that evil red-headed game show hag...ugh!
