Does anyone else watch British Comedies?

[#1bonofan]

I have become obsessed with Keeping Up Appearances and As Time Goes By. They show them on PBS here and I love them! Hyacinth totally cracks me up.

I like watching my DVD collection of Benny Hill !!
I'll be able to say the same about Monty Python and that Flying Circus soon !!
I'm waiting for the DVDs I ordered on that program !!

That's because PBS has never aired it.

It was shown here on BBC America. If you're familiar with the NBC remake of "The Office," it's similar. Kind of an office mockumentary.

I don't have bbc america either

heard of "people like us"? that's a kinda mockumentary, by the bbc I think. I've seen that on pbs.

I wish I had BBC America. Brit comedies are so freaking funny. We need shows like that here!

Only Fools and Horses - you guys in the US need to watch that if you haven't already, it was Britain's favourite comedy show in some poll last year.

“Yes Minister” and “Yes Prime Minister” are British classics.

You've all reminded me to watch the 3rd season of Vicar of Dibley I got a few weeks ago on dvd, finally.

I'm having a mental blank too, what was that show about the 2 sisters who's husbands were in jail? They had a neighbour Dorian who ...it just came back to me Birds of a Feather Brilliant show. And there's one more I also cant remember the name of now, about 4 people who live in the same block of flats or something. The girls live in one and the 2 guys live in the other. That show is a pisser as well.

 

[Palace_Hero]

Alot of Middle Class, middle aged shit being banded about.

For me..

Black Books
Only Fools
I'm Alan Partridge & KMKY Alan Partridge (AH-HA!)
Little Britain (First Series)
Bo Selecta (1st & 2nd Series)
The Office
Father Ted
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Young Ones
Bottom

And the daddy, my favourite TV show ever, SPACED.


As an aside, Mr. Bean is the most overrated British comedy ever. Asinine and not funny.

Only Fools and Horses
But make sure its older episodes though. The nore recent stuff they have done in the past 5 years or so has been a bit rubbish.
