    I'm a fan. I grew up with To the Manor Born, The Irish RM, Are You Being Served and Fawlty Towers. Keeping up Appearances and As Time Goes By and the Vicar of Dibley became fast favorites of mine.

    I also like the Black Adder series with Rowan Atkinson.
    There was a series called Butterfly about a woman who was not having an affair but had some humor in it and Good Neighbors about a couple who decide to be self sufficient in their suburban home.
    The Free Spirit Saver who walks the path with Greebo.

    Onboard with a modified Dave Ramsey Plan

    Gardening somewhere between Zone 6b and 7a.

    Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is one of my favourites just now. This is the third time I´m watching this show and it´s still funny.

    Total anglophiles here. Love all the shows mentioned, especially Little Britain. Haven't seen Coupling, Spaced, and the old Young Ones mentioned.

    I grew up on Benny Hill and Monty Python. Will still watch any movie with any of the original Pythons in it, just because of my total dedication to them. On that note, if you ever get a chance to watch Erik the Viking - GREAT movie!!

    Currently, I still find myself watching Monty Python, I have the boxed set of Ab Fab, and I recently started getting sucked into That Mitchell and Webb Look and The Graham Norton Show.

    I love the older ones like Are You Being Served and Keeping Up Appearances. I also like AbFab too! I like some of the non-britCom type shows on BBC America too. I like Bargain Hunt, Cash In the Attic, and Top Gear.
