[blackbelt]

the only british tv show i watch afaik is the sketch show.

[Legolas]

To be honest ,we don't see too much of the UK programs but from what I have seen,I like Dr. Who, Benny Hill, and Who's line is it anyway. I bet you guys have some great shows over there that we don't get to see. :( :thumb: :cool:

Benny Hill and Monty Python are great classics. :thumb:
There's a few other U.K. programs on the Public channel (non-comercial)
Keeping Up Appearances
Mulberry
Faulty Towers
I believe those are from the U.K., not sure.

Both on Public Broadcasting only

I enjoy the BBC news - radio version too.
Are You Being Served...looks ancient and in reruns.

Before they stopped it here, Benny Hill was FUNNY...

I have watched several BBC programs... Changing Rooms, Ground Force, House Invaders, Eastenders, Johnathan Creek, Kracker, Inspector Morse, Waking the Dead, Murder Most English, Coupling, Manchild, Sting in Concert & Comedy Specials, BBC News, etc. Also, in January, they started showing a new series called "What Not to Wear"... LOL Like I give a sheet about clothes. I run around nearly naked most of the day!

Trust the brits to name a show that and not get it copied....

I did also like kavanugh QC and Inspector Morse, and a touch of frost.

The main US programs we get are either si-fi like Roswell high , Srargate SG1 , all the Star Treks , Odyssey 5 and Andromeda or chat shows like Jerry Springer , Dr Phill , Sally Jessy Raphael and Jenny Jones .
My favourite has got to be the Best family in the world The Simpsons . :cool:

Have any of you PPL seen Only Fools And Horses that has got to be my favourite UK comedy . :smilegrin:

[U.J.J.]

Ah Oldfox Only Fools and horses the only British comedy that can touch such classics as Fawlty Towers,Porridge , Rising Damp and George and Mildred, which would blow Will and Grace out the water.

Also i think they should have let Del boy keep his millions. The latest episodes have been ok but not as good as you'd expect.
Also although Uncle Albert was good , i think they were better when Grandad was in it.

As for U.S. shows how could you forget classics like Frasier, Taxi, Cheers, and an old fav of mine when i was growing up The Streets of San Francisco, ok not a comedy but good in its time.

The Simpsons rule, have you seen Family guy. That meglomaniac baby cracks me up lol.
