    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.

    Coming to a theater near you!!!

    Three Rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky,Seven for the Dwarf-Lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where shadows lie.One ring to rule them all,One ring to find them,One ring to bring them all,And the darkness to bind them!

    Benny Hill and Monty Python are great classics.
    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.

    TV

    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...

    Digital Cable Carries BBC America

    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!

    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 .

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

    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.
