Seeing as how us Brits are so acclaimed across the World, ie, the the Beloved of the French, the Envy of the US and the Most Respected of Australia, I thought I'd paste up this US survey of Brit sitcoms. (Sarcasm intentional, in the UK it is not the sole preserve of ExpatBrits gay chums)
Some of these sit-coms do actually exist, BTW.
How do you rate the one's that are real?

Englishman! How naughty of you! You are a moderator on this board and you posted the one swearword that even I don't say or post - "tw*t"!!!!
Shame on you!
About the comedies - I love Ab Fab (Absolutely Fabulous), Monty Python, Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Red Dwarf .... I think they're way better than the american comedy shows.

I voted "The Office" - was the best. Saw it in my local independent video store.

I love The Young Ones. Haven't seen it for quite a few years, though. Alan's nuts about Fawlty Towers (we have the videos). And, of course, we have the entire collection of Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD.
My sister just moved over to England, and she's fascinated by some show (don't know the name) where they go in and clean up people's filthy houses. Do you know which one I'm talking about, Eman?

There is also one called 'How clean is your house' on channel 4. It gross but hilarious that these two very well dressed, snooty ladies turn up and tear strips off the people who live there, and love to tell them how disgusting they are.
Father Ted has to be one of the funniest shows ever made.......unless you are the Pope. :)
I'm going to watch Black Books Series 3 being filmed on Saturday

I would love to se that, sort of a Simon Cawl for house cleaning. We have a show over here called"This old house" well at least that used to be the title, they renamed it and i can't remeber the title. It is great, they remodel on TV. love it.
