    Tasteless and unfunny is the most charitable I can be...

    Yes, probably not the best example...

    How about Bubbles Devere?

    I meant the entire series, not whatever it was you linked to...

    O.K. as long as you reviewed it thoroughly.

    I always thought Black Adder was unfair as well.

    Mrs. Brown enteres our livingroom through the mainchannel on the TV. I think he(she) is fantastic acting like that and adapting to mistakes live like he is doing.

    Sorry, what the he.. are you guys talking about??!!!! I guess it's something we Yanks don't get over here... I love the Midsomer Murders, Poirot Mysteries, and some of the Britcoms. This one escapes me... ZZZZZZZZ....

    No clue George. The wife and I disconnected the TV several years ago and now watch what's on the web or nothing at all.

    I used and IP proxy service to watch BBC and the like, but hard to enjoy on a 3Mb DSL connection.

    Music, email, and Facebook for me.

    I'd like to know how Mrs Brown found it's way onto TV, let alone out the country. Dire, inane tripe IMHO... As for Little Britain, no comment... absolutely no comment, at least not on a public forum.

    That said, if like me you find most British "comedy" these days banal to put it mildly then you should see some of the stuff they have to endure on German TV!

    According to Little Britain and Mrs. Brown, it is not so much the jokes we laugh of here back home. It is the chars. They are spot on and the humor around is not setting these chars in a bad light.
    George and Al - I assumed we were talking about humor-programmes here. Hercule Poirot is absolutely one of my top-favorites, but this Little peculiar frenchman is like comparing a Bentley to this:

    O.K. Could we all agree on "One Foot in the Grave?"

    Even "Andy" seems to have had the patience and ability to watch the whole series...

    Grumpy old trolls...five votes thats it?

    OFITG was complete bollocks as well. On the other hand, this was funny:-

    Aren't genetics wonderfull. The Canadian version from Trailor Park Boys. Americans had a good laugh down their noses at "Canadian Culture"
