Keeping up with the Brits

So, I enjoy watching Britcoms. Saturday night is my night for British comedy. PBS runs great shows. As I said before, I have an affinity for practically all things British. So I obviously like Britcoms. My favorite is Keeping up Appearances, about Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet!) and her adventures trying to, well, keep up appearances. She is annoyingly high class, as well as completely oblivious as to the fact that nobody can stand her, including her husband. She wipes off her plants with a hankerchief, and never listens to anything anybody says. So of course I adore her!

Another one I've started to watch is Are You Being Served? It's about the employees in a department store and it's very funny.

Finishing off my Saturday of British comedy is Monty Python. When I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I became obsessed, and now every weekend I watch Monty Python's Flying Circus reruns. Maybe it doesn't make sense, but that's why it's so funny.

Currently I'm obssessed with everything british. They talk very amusingly, and I don't mean their accents!
