now the Simpsons if quite funny but normally at American cultures expense (in a nice way I hope).

I seem to recall a survey in Europe somewhere and the general view was that Homer Simpson most represented the American male.

I think amercan humor is more obvious and Zany, whereas a little subtlety is more successful in the UK, Billy Connely has managed to span several continents although he has toned down his accent and I think maybe he alters his style for "continental" tastes

To many Americans, Benny Hill is considered the height of British Humor.

Oh, I dunno. I kinda prefered Blackadder myself. ;-)

I'm hard pressed to find anything to like on network TV here in the states but we like Keeping up Appearances and Are You Being Served reruns so well on the BBC that we are working on buying all the series as they come out on DVD.

Are there any current "Brit-coms" like those today in the UK? I really need to look closer at the BBC's schedule.
