I don't like sitcoms.
Mr Bean owns though.

Fawlty Towers is on the American BBC channel now and then. One of my all time favs.

I saw the entire collection of shows on DVD for $59. Think I'll pick it up.

How could you leave "Coupling" off that list?  Funniest show I have seen in a long while.

That Coupling show looks like a Brit version of Friends.

I thought that too, but it really is much better.  The character diversity is better, and the writing is brilliant.

They are not afraid to tackle subjects that would make most people cringe a bit.

That Coupling show is funny and generally more clever than 99% of American sitcoms (I don't ever recall seeing a split screen sitcom before this - and it worked).  And I can totally relate to that guy in the lower right hand corner, whatisname.

How can you leave out Allo Allo and any of the Blackadder series?

Bottom right is Jeff.  He is a trip.

I remember the split screen episode.  Yep,..worked really well (Steve and Susan splitting up.  Was an hour after the show was over before it hit me.  Splitting up and split screen).  Brilliant.
