What are your favorite English TV programs?

The Jeffersons, Northern Exposure; Picket Fences; Gilliganï¿½s Island; Hoganï¿½s Heroes; Star Trek; Kung fu; Fantasy Island. I still like watching The Golden Girls and The Nanny too (but donï¿½t tell anyone

).

I watched a lot of "Starsky and Hutch", "Barretta" and game shows too.

The IT crowd, the Vicar of Dibley, Keeping up Appearances are fantastic. Will and Grace and Absolutely Fabulousis hilarious. Currently I am watching 3rd Rock from the Sun which has me in stitches all the time.

And one that I haven ï¿½t seen here yet.... Benidorm. Everything you ever thought about "a typical British family" going on a weekï¿½s all-inclusive holiday is confirmed here. It ï¿½s brilliant.

What a great topic. It brings back some nice memories. Growing up in New York, I watched The Beverly Hillbillies, Golden Girls, Married With Children, Little House on the prairie, Gilligan ï¿½s Island- and my favourite cartoons The Carebears. I also llike ï¿½ Allo, Allo Yes, Minister.

Being a Brit I love Coupling. Much prefer it to Friends. I also love The Office, Fawlty Towers etc... Watching BBC Prime last night I came across newer ones like Ideal and Lead Balloon. I liked them but I really don ï¿½t think they ï¿½re for kids Smile

American Sitcoms I love are 3rd Rock from the Sun and King of Queens. Don ï¿½t think that ï¿½ve been mentioned up to now.

Does anyone know what Happy Days is? My German bloke has no idea Cry

Cry

"Mr Bean" is always great fun to watch! I also like some episodes of "One Foot in the Grave" and the "Red Dwarf" :-) Let ï¿½s not forget "24" and "Prison Break". Ah! and "Stargate", as well!

The reason why I wrote this here and not on the cafeï¿½board was because so many of these great comedy television programs are fabulous for teaching about English speaking cultures. You really get to know the people through their humor!

Thanks for your replies.

Do you know the series "The Wire? ï¿½if you like crime, politics and quite tricky plots, then that ï¿½s the one for you, that ï¿½s pretty old, but that ï¿½s EXCELLENT!! it ï¿½s an american series, takes place in Baltimore.

I don ï¿½t think you can use it in class thought, a bit too difficult and probably some of the intrigues can be shocking, but for teachers....
