I was a very confused 14 year old when I turned PBS on one night to this show. Loved it then. Might have to watch it again and see if it's just rose tinted glasses.

It might not be the best show now, but back then when you only got 13 channels, finding something this different from the regular poo poo was great.

Also http://i.imgur.com/kGiL9mo.gif this is fuckin great!

Time to watch some classics.

Never heard of it.

Never heard of Red Dwarf until a year ago either. I tried to watch an episode, but couldn't make it through. It's terrible. I'm guessing the people that like it grew up with it or something.

KUA however was on PBS all the time and it's watchable.

yeah red dwarf didn't quite do it for me but the stale recycled unoffensive "hyacinth is a snob" jokes really crank my caboose. also the vicars wife is hot.

Father Ted is good poo poo.

lol at all the Brits who are shocked Americans have seen Keeping up Appearances.

our Public Broadcasting Stations loving love old British shows. My local PBS still shows KUA, and Are you Being Served every other night.

As I'm usually piss drunk by this time, I'm loving pumped to watch some old british sitcoms.

You could watch that for a week solid and probably only see 0.001% of episodes ever made. All have roughly the same plot though.

I always kind of wanted one of those hats Onslow wears. I decided I would make that happen. Apparently it's the logo for some paving company in New Zealand and they'll send you one but with shipping it was like $50 so I said gently caress it. I hope you liked my story.

Father Ted also had an amazing episode about Germans.

However, their Speed episode about being milkmen was the best episode, and you see some giant titties, too.
