What's your Britcom Lineup?

[minki]

I'm wondering what bones your local PBS station tosses you when it comes to Britcoms. International members too: tell us what Britcoms you get!

On my PBS station on the left, they finally got out of the dark ages and revamped their lineup:

Yes, Minister
To the Manor Born
Blackadder
Vicar of Dibley
As Time Goes By


and...

On the PBS station to my right (I get two), they're still in the dark ages...though this is the one that also gives me AYBS:

As Time Goes By
Keeping Up Appearances
Are You Being Served
Last of the Summer Wine
My Hero
Red Dwarf
Waiting for God

BBC America...I don't know what they're airing anymore, it keeps changing. I do know that Coupling is one of them :)

As far as I can tell "KUA" is the only Britcom being shown on WVIA ???

As far as I can tell "KUA" is the only Britcom being shown on WVIA ???

When I lived in Texas, I didn't even have that on the PBS station--it was 100% Britcom free :( However, having BBCA on Demand did make up for that somewhat.

KUA
As Time Goes By
Last of The Summer Wine
Waiting For God
Monty Python's Personal Best

[froggie]

in australia, hardly anything these days.

last year, there was a 2 hour-long series at 6.30 on a saturday night where they'd show one episode of AYBS, benny hill, george and mildred, and KUA. but these were episodes that are only available on dvd in australia.

the ABC (our equivalent to the BBC) occasionally shows Yes minister and the more 'tame' ones

when i was a kid in the 80s, they used to to screen open all hours, love thy neighbour, george and mildred, mind your language and steptoe and son. if you wanna see those now, you have to buy the DVDs, but they only have the first few series of those shows available on DVD here. so its a case of ebay or amazon. so, yep - we're deprived!

^ In Australia, Seven Network shows repeats of The Vicar of Dibley. On most Saturday afternoons shows like KUA, The Good Life and George and Mildrid air. Channel Seven also occasionally shows Fawlty Towers and On The Buses. At the moment, the owner of most of the britcoms is The Comedy Channel (Australia's exuivilent (bad spelling, I know!) to Comedy Central) - it shows Are You Being Served?, On The Buses, Please Sir, AbFab, and Mind Your Language. UKTV also currently airs The Vicar of Dibley and AbFab, but will occasionally show shows like Last of the Summer Wine, KUA, Only Fools and Horses, Little Britain and Steptoe and Son.

Also, ABC2 in Australia shows episodes of Red Dwarf on a Monday night at 8:00 pm.

[Evey]

We have UKGold, which does show a good line up of Britcoms, at the moment we have

Only Fools and Horses
My family
KUA
Blackadder
Dinnerladies

they change it quite a lot though, but they never seem to show aybs? :b**ch:

[Goldie]

Through the week the only Britcom that's on is Are You Being Served? at 11 pm.. if they have nothing else to show.. On Saturdays starting at 8 pm, the line up goes.. Are You Being Served? Keeping Up Appearances, and As Time Goes By..

There is another PBS station that airs Waiting For God and Last of the Summer Wine.

[minki]

I have to admit, when I lived in New England, I was spoiled. THREE PBS stations with a lot of Brit TV to choose from. And one of those stations really appreciated it: there was Britcom nights on Friday...Saturday...AND on Tuesdays!

Anyone living up there better consider themselves lucky! :)

[missmacinthorpe]

On Saturday nights we currently have KUA, As Time Goes By, AYBS? and Waiting for God.

[Eva]

Every Sunday night since Monty Pythons Spam-a-Lot opened The Comedy Channel has been airing britcoms, I mentioned some before, but it also offers us...
Doctor At Large
'Allo 'Allo
Monty Python's Flying Circus.

UK-TV currently airs the following...
2point4 Children
Absoloute Power
According To Bex
BlackAdder
French Fields
Complete Guide To Parenting
My Hero
Worst Week of My Life
Star Stories and many more.

Basically, if you have Pay-TV in Australia you are spoiled for choice

Thank God for the DVD's buddy !!! :D

[offthefloor]

Thank God for the DVD's buddy !!! :D

Amen to that!!!! I need my grace brothers fix :lol:

I wish they would put to the manor born on round here...I have seen one or two episodes and its was ok...I'd like to actually see it a bit before I buy the dvd's and realize I dont like it

[Goldie]

Thank God for the DVD's buddy !!! :D

And for wonderful friends ( Laurel and Crystal ) who are so kind and sweet enough to think of me and send me the DVD's!!!!! :kiss:

[Red Shadow]

Our local PBS station hasn't shown AYBS for several years now. Currently, they play Last of the Summer Wine some weeknights, and on Saturday nights, it's As Time Goes By, Keeping Up Appearances, Waiting For God, and Super Nova.

Yes, living in New England - we are incredibly spoiled!! On our Rhode Island PBS station I get to watch AYBS every night @ 7:30 in chronological order right up to AYBSA. That station also features Kingdom on Saturday nights!!

Our New Hampshire PBS shows one eppy of Blackadder every Tuesday night @ 10:30pm. They also show all of them in order, too!

Our Boston PBS station and the NH station plays KUA, As time goes by, Vicar of Dibley, Prime Minister, etc. every Friday and Saturday evening.

BBC America is the worst station I've ever seen! Once a week they have one eppy of ABFAB that's it. Miss Humphries and I were thinking of calling our cable company and instead of BBC America - we want BBC 1 & 2, also the ITV channel over in the UK seems to have great shows!!

I know, the more I have - the more I want!!! :roll:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Amen to that!!!! I need my grace brothers fix :lol:

Great show !! I highly recommend it. If you can stand Hyacinths character then you'll love this show !

[Lucas The Tucas]

Heck !

I have a neighbor like .... Hyacinth . :cry:

She lives about a half a mile away as the crow flys.

Or about a mile down the road.

And an aunt too ... But she lives about 3 hours away. :lol:

Better than living right next door !!!
