British comedy shows - Page 2

I love British Comedy. Have to admit, I like it better than American comedy. Most of my favorites have been mentioned......

Keeping Up Appearances
Red Dwarf
Mr. Bean

But I also love Open All Hours. Probably my favorite. Never seen much of Black Adder.

Here in the northwest, where I'm from, we get PBS, which airs a lot of British made programs. Oh yeah, I also get a kick out of To The Manor Born.

The Bill, Fawlty Towers, Absolutely Fabulous, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Keeping Up Appearances, Red Dwarf, On the Up, Doctor Who, and more.

But out of those, I definately cant get over "Its My Sister, Violet, The one with A mercades, a mansion, and room for a pony" or something similar, and definately cant resist laughing at Michael Crawford in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.

Monty Python! As far as Red Dwarf, and Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Read the books and stay away from the shows with a special effect budget of 50 bucks.
