how weird that you should get this terrible old bit of brit tv on over there! mind you benny hill was a big hit too apparently. was there an american version?
leff said:
I think it's a matter of public television (in the american sense of literally being supported by voluntary donations from viewers) wanting to support the viewer base that likes british commedy (or britcoms as pbs sometimes calls them) but never having enough cash for the good stuff (see first parenthetical aside).
Sometimes, when the coffers are brimming over, they'll show Chef...

There does seem to be a resergence of British Comedy at the moment in the U.S. with Ricky Gervais and Sasha Baron Cohen etc. doing well.

It's always been around. And our guys have been thiefing ideas offa your guys (and americanizing them) for probably longer than I've been alive. Most recently notable is 'the office' with Steve Carell.

I watched a bit of the american version of The Office recently and astonished at how awful they had made it!

Love are you being served. And i agree the bbc version of the office is better

Oh and if anyone has seen one foot in the grave it is the best. It's more modern.
