Fawlty Towers and Black Adder

Probably more too, but I can't think of them!

I've always liked British comedy more than others.

I always thought "Are You Being Served" was entertaining. I also liked "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin". Then there were the great "Carry on" movies.

Shameless was one of my favourite series.

(The English, not the American versionmumbling )

Maybe, not technically a comedy, but was hilarious at times. Especially in the early days.

pedalguy59: The counter point to that is CNN and Fox news are TV shows, only
showing, shall we say, selective news. The Canadian SCTV
news was the most factual I ever saw.


The only news I recall seeing from Canada was made by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. I understand boxer Mike Tyson loves the guy. laugh

Well Ms. Molly there was one great show that was copied by America,
and became even culturally greater. Till death do us part became
All In The Family and was a super hit. Steptoe and Son, became
Sanford and Son which was pretty good too. One that really was
terrible in America was Three's Company, nowhere near as good as
Man About the House.
