Don’t worry. I know everything there is to know about America because I have seen episodes of the Simpsons, Desperate Housewives, Smallville, and Charmed. I think that about covers the whole US experience. 
It’s the closest thing Avanutria can get to a flatmouth icon.
Nope. You also need King of the Hill, The Price is Right, and…hm. Let’s throw in Home Improvement for good measure.
Here ya go.
excellent, that’s just how I feel after a three-hour uni exam this morning.
I feel more like a labial plosive followed by a fricative glottal stop with recurrant sussurrant overtones, but it takes all sorts.
I think a weekly tv special here could be a festival of all of the original Brit shows that were re-made here, like All in the Family. Seems like there are more than just a few.
I think “Kumars at No. 42” is the most entertaining chat show on TV anywhere.
I love House! The first time I watched it I kept trying to remember where I’d seen the guy playing House. I kept relating him to comedy. The next day my brain dredged up the memory of him as Bertram Wooster. He does an American accent well enough to fool anyone who did not know he’s from across the pond.
“Dr. House” is a really tactless,scruffy,un-doctor-like character-loose cannon type, who tends to make biting remarks to everyone and happens to be brilliant so he’s tolerated. Very politically incorrect and often witty. He’s also addicted to pain pills. I just hope that they don’t mess it up, but I fear they are going to. It looks like they are going to introduce a “love intrest” for Dr. House and that will ruin it. It’s one of the few TV shows I actually watch anymore.
Yeah…I think that about sums all of us up
Alan Partridge
Phoenix Nights
Auf Wheidersen*
Footballers Wives…just to let them see some real acting
I’ve seen several of these through OETA, which is the PBS affiliate throughout Oklahoma, but, they acquired at least some of them through syndication, and not through PBS.
It does not get much better than Alan Partridge and Phoenix Nights…
Good call.
Nighty, night. was the best thing ever on British TV.
How dark can you get.. 
Slan,

My favorite by far is Last of the Summer Wine. Keeping Up Appearances and Are You Being Served are right up there too. My wife favors As Time Goes By.

I’ve never heard of ‘As Time Goes By’… I do enjoy "Keeping Up Appearances’, though. As for “Are You Being Served” , that one ran hot & cold with me.
These all run on our PBS affiliate.
Who’s in that show, “As Time Goes By” ?
I’ll check our listings to see if we have it broadcast here.
Thanks,
I was beginning to think that I lved on a different planet. Nice to know I’ll have good company. 
I wonder if Nighty, Night would be too dark for Americans. If you thought Quads and the Braithwaites were dark, trust me, you have no idea what you’re in for with this one.
One I forgot but should have mentioned is Dennis Potter. Any series is well worth the price of admission, but the Singing Detective is brilliant.
It’s Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer, ain’t it?
