    I like to watch the old british comedies on PBS during weekends. Things like Are You Being Served and that one that I can never remember the name of, the one with the wife named Hyacinth, and the sister named Rose. Refresh my memory on its name?

    I haven't seen the spinoff, but that's america for you. I started watching it becaue my grandmother did, and it's just hilarious.

    I think I like KUA because Hyacinth can be so cutting with only couple words.

    "Steptoe and Son" is an oldie that goes back to the 1970s, but I've seen a few eps and love it!
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8

    OMG, the Vicar is awesome! Dawn French rocks. And I love "Keeping Up Appearances." Hmm, maybe it's more of a girl's show?

    BTW, Dawn French was the Fat Lady in the Painting in the 3rd Harry Potter movie

    Am I the only one in the entire world that doesn't like monty python? I just don't get it.
  • Tempe ArizonaTempe Arizona
    Oh gosh, I thought I was the only one that doesn't get monty python! Each of those guys on their own are funny. But together, they're blah. I love random, but they don't even succeed at that. Someone do tell me what's so funny about monty python

    vicor of dibley is a poor mans farther ted


    after watching farther ted you have no need for any vicor of dibley
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8
    But this vicar is a woman, so it's funnier.

    Pandy, would you explain the point of monty python?
  • Unknown
    i was never much into monty python either


    it was before my time thus never got into it


    the movies have far more of a cult status then the show ever did


    dawn french is amazing, but farther ted is just pure genious
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8
    Yes, the movies were good. Agreed.

    I love both those shows! The brits are so good at joking about religion without insulting it. The dude who plays father ted is awesome.

    he sadly died a number of years ago


    and a high % of irish people hate farther ted due to its content
  • Tempe ArizonaTempe Arizona
    No! That's so sad. That guy is wonderful. Ha, I could see why the Irish would hate that show. My fav ep for some reason was the one where all these rabbits kept popping out.

    The guy who plays Dougal is also in a britcom called "My Hero." But I could never get into that show. It was kinda like a Mork and Mindy wanna be, and even that show wasn't too good.
  • Unknown
    thank goodness someone else doesnt like my hero


    that show is pure crap


    its got a new main person now though
