We in the States get a fair amount of BBC programming here eventually, usually through PBS. Without it I may have never originally become an anglophile. My screen name is shortnening of Captain Frank Hollister from Rew Dwarf. I'm also a huge Blackadder fan (I think it's Rowan's best work) and for online shooters I use E_Bl4ck4dder. Britcoms I've seen on PBS off the top of my head: Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Chalk, Yes Prime Minister, Fawlty Towers, Ab Fab, As Time Goes By, Butterflies, Keeping Up Appearaneces, Monty Python, 'Allo 'Allo, My Hero, Mr. Bean, and a few others I can't remember the titles of. Coupling and The (original) Office have also been brought here successfully on DVD (which I own, in addition to Red Dwarf). So I will say what I want about British comedy: I really like it
. Speaking of imports, I also watch Red Green.
