[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1353933, member: 18945"] I've always been a big fan of British humor, and some of their dramas. I can still watch every episode of [i]The Last of the Summer Wine[/i], [i]Keeping up Appearances[/i] and [i]To the Manor Born[/i]. Also like scifi comedy and watch reruns of [i]Red Dwarf[/i]. None were ever meant to be slapstick funny--all operated off the premise of a drier humor, poking fun at each character's own stereotypes. Really evident in 'Summer Wine". More serious, I like [i]Doc Martin[/i] and [i]Foyle's War[/i]. Can't stand [i]East Enders[/i] or [i]Are You Being Served[/i]. I used to watch [i]All Creatures Great and Small[/i] a show based on the writings of a British veterinarian and liked it a lot. I recently re-read the very first 2 hard back books I ever owned--birthday gifts when I was about 10-12. Swiss Family Robinson and Treasure Island. Just as good as when I first read them. When I watch old movies, I sense a bit of change. Saw [i]The Big Country[/i] not long ago, and oddly found myself kinda pulling for Burl Ive's character Rufus Hannassay and hoped Henry Terrill would be strung to a tall tree. [/QUOTE]
