Benny Hill is a classic. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was so dirty. That might be where my attraction to British women comes from. Some of my favorite Brit shows are:

Are you being served?
The Young Ones (one of my all time favorites)
Black Adder
Bottom
Keeping Up Appearances
Black Books
Father Ted
Ab Fab
French and Saunders
The League of Gentlemen
Jonathan Creek
The Smoking Room
Little Britain
The Office
Doctor Who (The Original)
And I really enjoy Bargain Hunters.

Thank goodness for BBC America!

As much as I like Little Britain, I think they might be wearing a bit thin. The jokes are all the same at this point. If they stop at series 3, that's good.

Trading Spaces
Cash In The Attic

American Idol! (Although, I'm not too thankful for that one.)

Me neither! lol

And I do miss seeing the British version of Whose's Line Is It Anyway on TV.

I went to Ireland a few years ago and saw The Weakest Link for the first time and thought "What the heck is this????" I told my mom about it over the phone and she informed me the show was soon coming to America. I was not happy! lol

I watch Coronation Street! :stick_out_tongue:
I also used to love the UK version of Whose Line when it came on here.
