I've made it known that I'm a big fan of British comedys. My all-time favorite is "Are You Being Served?" We didn't have cable out in the sticks so we got a lot of our entertainment by means of PBS. I believe I saw my first episode when I was ten or so. Every time I saw a rerun after that, being a bit older I'd pick up on some tawdry jokes that went over my head in the past.
Ah. That's good t.v.
The reprisal series, "Grace and Favour" is much less entertaining, but it was nice to see all the characters again. There were a few very funny moments ("But I'm ha'py!") that I laughed outloud at, but overall I'm disappointed. Back to the Netflix queue it goes.

Have you ever watched "Keeping Up Appearances" with Hyacinth Bucket ("that's Boo-Kay...")? That one's pretty funny. I used to love "Are You Being Served?" as well. I like a lot of the stuff on BBC America, too. The British do have a different sense of humor.
