What's Your Favorite Bbc Comedy Program?

WHA?!?!?!

Hi All,
Back when I was in High School, way back when, one of our local stations WTTW would play Monty Python's Flying Circus, Dave Allen, The Two Ronnies, & Doctor Who on Sunday nights. Come monday morning there would be a group of us that would do a skit in MPFC during homeroom. I still love each and every one of those shows. I was lucky enough to record most of the Doctor Who's since they are next to impossible to find. I do watch them from time to time. MPFC and Fawlty Towers I can see on BBC Am every once in a while. I wish I could find Dave Allen and The Two Ronnies though. Some classic English comedy!!

I really love Python when its skits like "Minister of Silly Walks" and my all-time favorite "Argument Clinic", but I must admit a lot of their stuff bothers me: I can't stand the bits when they're cruel to animals, and sometimes skits don't strike my funny bone.

I saw the Fawlty Towers series for the first time a few months ago on BBCAmerica, and watched it weekly with delight - Cleese is brillant, a walking caricature! Doesn't the show look dated now, with the hair-dos... still funny though. And if you've ever stayed in a UK B&B you'll enjoy it.

What is that sit-com that has the British Dept store? It's always soooo funny! Some time the older woman has pink hair, then the next time I see it, it's green or blue. The hair do's are so dated yet great humor. I can never remember the name of the show...must be ADD again.

Thats Are you being Served

Whew ! someone said Dr Who..
I was ready to take a pulse here..

ANY thing with John Cleese is a delight to me..
the man is JUST funny ...

Ab Fab rocks.... I love that show..

I am seriously thinking about plunking down some money for the entire
Monty Python DVD collection...

In Service to the Dream.

One more vote for Monty Python, with Minister of Silly Walks and Dead Parrot being classics. My all-time favorite was "Hello. It's just gone 8 o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode."

My lovely bride and I like the BBC version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway". The USA version just ain't as funny.

What is the site com that has a oversexed female Kirk on it?

Is there any show other than the Black Adder? I have the whole series (plus specials) on DVD. I will admit to also liking Mr Bean.

Def. like Are You Being Served? and...arr, the one w/ Judi Dench is As Time Goes By, isn't it? 's fun.

And Coupling, as on the BBC, was friggin' hilarious. Loved it. I know they tried an American version, but... I dunno. It was just fine as it was. Should have just syndicated it in public, as opposed to hiding it on public TV.

Oooh, I remember the days when I could watch I, Spy on one of the public TV channels. That was friggin' awesome. Loved that show. Not BBC or anything, but quite fun.

That's it, Are you being served! O, cracks me up all the time!

I would say for me it is a tie between Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Are you being served.

I love those two shows!
Keeping up Appearances is good too! ( Oh, poor, Richard!)
When I was a kid i loved the Young Ones. It's still pretty funny... and all these years that have past I still find m'self asking ...'have we got a video?' LOL! Good times!!!!

When we had BBC Amercia I so loved to watch so gramha Norton he was so funny. I just loved that show

Oh, yeah! Graham's a hoot! He has some interesting guests on, too. And some of the stunts he pulls with the audience you'd never get away with in the US. Very appropriate emoticon!

my favorite character is the machine gun-toting sheep in wolf's clothing!!!

Python, Blackadder, Keeping Up apperences, Are You Being Served, Graham Norton, WHo's Line Is It Anyway,........

ALL BBC comedy is great!!
I perfer British comedy to american shows, the comedy is more real, I think.
I love British TV, everything in life has it's place and is excepted.

Has anyone seen the comedian Eddie Izzard???? OMG!!!!!
