Have any of our American readers watched Peepshow?

[bloodline]

I recent read an American review of the Peepshow first series DVD and the guy simply didn't get it... was he just an idiot used to the usual US sitcom crap or is his view an example of cultural differences?

Exactly, which is why I need to find out if Peepshow is a British only thing...

You won't find it on the BBC, IIRC NBC have bought the series (Though I don't know if they plan to show it or remake it).

If it's as good as you say, it needs to come on unmolested. If they put it on some "Network" channel, it will be cut up and de-balled. and therefore, suck big time.  :madashell:

If it were De-Balled there would only be about 40seconds of show including the opening credits...

The canned laughter in the new series of Little Britain is really starting to get on my tits, then again it could just be that this thread has made me notice it more. Still a damn good show though.

Broken News is pretty good too, really taking the p*ss out of news channels. Dunno if BBC America shows that yet?

The current series of Little Britain is absolute wank, nowhere as good as previous series :-(

Broken News is ok, but it's just a pale imitation of The Day Today and Brasseye.

What went wrong with the BBC (specifically BBC2) and Channel 4?  There was a time when they produced a wide range of great comedies catering for all tastes.

Right now, I'm rather enjoying Space Cadets :-D I love watching Morons...

No, they weeded out anyone who could name three or more characters from Star Trek... no one form Amiga.org wold have made it through.

I am waiting to see if the real joke is actually on us... still it's only entertainment :-D
