I`m a brit and a massive comedy fan.some of your choices of brit comedy surprises me.Last of the summer wine!?? (its about three old gits going down a hill on a various home made contraptions.same thing every time.for about twenty years).i dunno if any of you ever get to see stuff like spaced,brass eye,the day today,alan partridge,trigger happy tv,red dwarf,the list is endless.i like some of the US stuff,but on the whole it all seems to be very formulaic.everybody is always good looking,flash city flat,etc etc.the brit stuff tends to have downtroden slightly ugly characters who you actully identify with ,their situations ,etc.and as stated here,brits tend to only do six episodes at a time.i belive each episode of fawlty towers took six weeks each to write by two people(john cleese and connie booth).but the master has to be bill hicks,genius!!

Coupling and two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is good too, and game on, the list really does go on.

Jeeves and Wooster is what really attracted me to British Comedy. Sometimes you can catch it on A&E. I purchased the DVD collections from Barnes n noble but they might carry them at blockbuster etc.

 

Everyone has different taste, and yes prime minister is quite good but its not on so much anymore, i might actually have a look for jeeves and wooster, im very interested to find out now what its like, thanks for notifying me.
