"I never realized how popular BBC is in this country. Cool.

My favorite Brit shows:

Keeping Up Appearances
Are You Being Served
*The Victor of Dibly (my all-time favorite)
Waiting for God
Faulty Towers (they don't show that anymore"

"I'm sure everybody here is familiar with Monty Python? If not, you might give it a try. Not on TV but is on DVD....no commercial interruptions.

After the converter box and June 12th, I now get 7 PBS stations with all the great British comedies. Also they show alot of NOVA science specials. And......what would TV be if it weren't for the "Red Green Show"? Mr. Green gives a whole new meaning to "using duct tape" at the ol' Possum Lodge. His famous line is, "If the women don't find you handsome, make sure they find you handy". He is always building things that don't work at all. They fall apart when his back is turned and he appears to be oblivious....and his nephew Harold is a riot! Nothing dirty-minded on this show, but it's on kinda late here....10pm on weeknights. It's a must on any night B4 a canceled early morning client."

"Don't remember that right now, have to re-watch the DVD. All that comes to mind is Blazing Saddles today....."

"Yes, MA. That one was a classic. I love Morecombe and Wise, as well."

"I think Blazing Saddles was one of the stupidest wastes of money movies ever made. Thats odd too because Mel Brooks was a comedic genius."

"Not everyone likes Bean-Blast humor. I do sometimes. I can see why others would not."

Although I DID find the "round-the-campfire-bean-song" quite funny, that was about it for me. But my husband and some of his buddies find Blazing Saddles and almost anything by Mel Brooks funny. Hubby also goes for all things Monty Python, Black Adder, Benny Hill, Mr. Bean and Red Dwarf.

I much prefer Hyacinth's antics and a VERY occasional dose of "Coupling" in the realm of comedy.

For mysteries, I like the old Sherlock Holmes movies; I am very much looking forward to the new Guy Ritchie Holmes-movie starring Robert Downey.

While "Murder She Wrote" is not really English, the multi-award-winning Angela Lansbury made it one of the best mystery shows on American TV and around the world in my opinion. To this very day I catch an episode whenever I see one scheduled to air.

I love the BBC and BBC America movies I've gotten from the library.

The BBC America series JEKYL is the absolute very best I've seen, ever.

My likes are very different from yours.

I loved Blazin' Saddles. I thought it was hilarious.

Josie, which Sherlock Holmes do you like? Which actor, I mean. I love those. They used to come on every Sunday and I would prepare for them and throw everybody out of the house so I could have my Sunday British Mystery day. Jeremy Brett was my favorite.

If you haven't seen, "Keeping Mum," be sure and get it. I laughed so much at this movie and have rented it on more than one occasion. Here is a link to read about it. To me, it is hilarious!

Keeping Mum

The JEKYL ... is it a documentary?

Oh and Murder She Wrote....I could watch that over and over and over and over....I love it!
