The Goons just don't work for me. On the other hand, I like Hancock and love Round the Horne, especially Kenneth Williams.

Mr Bean can be a bit painful, but "Blackadder" was brilliant.

Mind, since we don't have TV it's all rather academic for us.

Our kids have stopped their cable TV subscription - between Hulu, Netflix and other online sources, they get their TV entertainment all from the computer now.
I still want my news channels so as long as they are cable-based, so am I.

You're a news channel?

Thanks for the info. So what is the premise behind the Last of the Summer Wine show? I've only seen it a few times. Is the show just about all the goofy things that those old guys do? The episodes I've seen were hilarious! The basic premise is that three people who went to school together and subsequently went their separate ways meet up again in the village of their birth (Holmfirth in Yorkshire) when they retire. The escapades are their way of filling endless time in a small village with nothing to do. The first five years or so were excellent but it has become very repetitive now. Thanks for that info. And I'm glad to hear that The Last of the Summer Wine was on for at least five years! That means I have a lot of episodes to watch that I still haven't seen.

You all seem to know a lot about British comedy! I remember a series that I loved, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. It starred a young man and woman who, at the beginning of the series were just newly married. They didn't want people to think they were young and in love, so tried to make everyone think they were an "old married couple." The two stars were adorable, especially the young woman. She used the word "frust-TRAT-ed" a lot. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
