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.
