Brit-coms

[highlandcelt]

I have been a big fan of some Brit-coms for quite some time. Especially the shows, "Are you being served" and "Keeping Up Appearances".(Patricia Rutledge is the bomb as Hyacinth Bucket! I mean "Bookay!") I watch them on PBS when they do come on. "Mr. Bean" and the Black Adder series is great, but the aformentioned shows bring me into fits of hysterics.
I have searched for video sets of these shows and can't find them. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places. Anyone know where I can get season sets of these wonderfully hillarious shows?
Also, does anyone like "The Red Green Show"? It is just as funny! It's the Canadian version of Jeff Foxworthy.

If you want to see many other Brit-coms without initially investing the money until you are certain you want to buy the sets try Netflix for a short time. I have been going through a number of programs and have found a great deal that I was not aware of. There are also some really good Drama and Mysteries too. Presently I am going through "All Creatures Great and Small" from the beginning. In keeping with the website I believe Herriot went to vet school in Scotland.

Try a search on XMarks for posts regarding some of the other shows.

Cheers! Bill

'Father Ted' and 'Bottom' are the funniest shows ever!

I too like some of the Brit-coms (especially the Office, the Kumars, etc) but wanted to clear one thing up. The Red Green show is not the Canadian version of Jeff Foxworthy, as the Red Green Show started in 1991 (ended this year) and the character was originally created in 1979 for Smith & Smith> Foxworthy's "You might be a Red Neck" came out in 1993 and his show wasn't out until 1995. So while both are similar (and funny) I don't think they are versions of each other.

We actually have all of the published series on DVD of both Are You Being Served AND Keeping Up Apprearances. Both are excellent and Patricia Rutledge is indeed "the bomb". I think we ordered these from PBS but the BBC would be a very good bet also. Good Luck.

Thanks for all the info guys! I'll check the PBS site first.

I just remembered the "man prayer" from Red Green:

I'm a man,
I can change,
if I have to,
I guess.
