I have yet to meet any British person who likes Benny Hill. It was the singularly most embarrassing TV program ever made.

Well,I started watching him when I was 8 so I guess I really didn't know any better.

I had the chance to see Monty Python's Flying Circus in person when the group came to NYC in the 70's when my sister won tickets to see them perform live at the theater, they were my all time favorite british comedy act!

Keeping Up Appearances was the best on the list for me, Loved it. I love most British comedy except Benny Hill (stupid IMO, but that is just me). And of course Coronation Street used to be my staple program on Sunday mornings, but don't get it here which really sucks

My Dad loves Benny Hill! But, then, you've never met him so, technically, you can still say you haven't met anyone.

Coronation Street. My Sunday mornings suck now, too.
Little Britain's hilarious. So is Coupling. My fave is when Jeff says he only has one leg. I was crying.

My dad is a big Benny Hill fan. He made Andre sit and watch hours of it with him one day. Andre said he didn't get it so he just laughed whenever my dad laughed.
Were "The Young Ones" British? I believe they were. I LOVED those guys. I asked for them on DVD for my birthday this year.

Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, AbFab, Coupling, My Family, Young Ones, Vicar of Dibley, Keeping Up Appearances...and many others too numerous to count (I guess I'm just an anglophile...)
Darren loves Only Fools and Horses...never seen it, but I'm sure I will soon!
