Love it!   

I'm lucky enough to have DishTV (Satellite) and get to watch BBC America. Granted we don't get the commercials but love the programming that they show.   

Hey Philly   Yep the BBC puts out quality stuff for sure.Just wondered how the British sense of humour is received in the U.S.You got any favourites ?  




Ohh yeshh.  

bobbyhundreds, the British humor is one of the reasons to watch, atleast for me. Yes it is different as is the language which alot of people don't understand. Just watch some episodes of Are You Being Served?.       

You really asked if I had any favorites, just a few. You have to understand some of the programs were shown on PBS (Public Broadcasting Services) which weren't/aren't current shows in England. BBC America is even a little behind somewhat plus we don't get every thing. By the way, I even like the news.  

These are the programs that I watch when ever they are show, even if I have seen them before. I'm giving consideration of getting DVD's of these shows.

Bichur, yeah I forget it, how you say! That probably was the first non-US program that I saw. Just could not get the humor in it at the time. A lot of years later, it was a whole different story.     

You mean Saturday?    That's when it scheduled for on BBC America.  

I am not a avid fan of Monty Python, but just heard on the local radio that today is Monty Python day

It's My Secret

Cadburys Chocolate.......Hmmmmmmm!!!! Yummy. Now that's one thing I miss since moving to the US. Yeah, you can buy it over here but the ingredients are not the same as the stuff they make in the UK. The 'Brit' version is so much more creamier. Not impressed with Hershey's. I found a 'Brit' shop the other day that sells 'Brit' Cadbury's and Crunchies too, it's very expensive but I guess an occassional self indulgent treat will not go amiss. The place also sells bottles of Ribena juice too. I love that stuff. Anyone else have a passion for Ribena?

I love the US, the people and the way of life over here but I get occassional 'pangs' for some of the 'motherland' stuff. I'm off to the mountains with some of my family and friends in a few minutes to go to a Highland Festivel and they've got a Guinness and Glenfiddich hospitality tent together with real meat pies. Should be fun  

Here's another funny advert from UK TV that's worth a look for John Smiths Beer.

LOL omg there will be global re-enactment of all those old sketches hehehe eeeek    
 

Sounds hilarious 2of3 .  My dad does the same,maybe they should meet up.  


My soft drink of choice    and I can't leave Crunchies alone either as my dentist will testify.  
Man o man,that John Smiths advert is sooo funny,Peter Kay is such a funny man.  


It's a grower I think,hey do you get Doctor Who there?



Loads of 'em   We have Paramount Comedy Channel on cable here so we get a lot of the comedy you have.
We just recently got Heroes on BBC which I'm really enjoying.
I tried to get into Lost but got a bit bored with it.  
My alltime,alltime absolute number one favourite is M.A.S.H.,it's the only thing I have ever bought a boxed set of and it still stands up as a classic I think.
It has everything,biting satire,slapstick,sauciness,tragedy and not to mention HotLips HoolaHan.
I'm a bit of a baseball fan too,and we get some highlights here on Channel 5.I don't follow one team in particular but I think it's great game to watch.

I can remember my Uncle Bert (who emigrated to Pensylvania) used to let me stay up late to watch MASH when him and my Aunt were babysitting me and my brother in the early seventies.Happy,happy days.  
The movie was truly great too and what a cast it had;Donald Sutherland,Elliott Gould,Robert Duvall, and Gary Burghoff (Radar) who I think was the only cast member to make it to the tv series,or maybe Klinger did too,I'm not sure.  

Without cable, I have to wait . . . wait . . . WAIT for the BBC to put their shows out of DVD. I've loved the first two series of the new Doctor Who, and avidly await the release of both series three and Torchwood this fall.

Just in time for the holidays.
