I am struck by the different opinions

I didn't like any of the British comedies mentioned, so it isn't just a woman thing.Best British comedies for me are,
Porridge ( Ronnie Barker in prison.)
Fawlty Towers ( John Cleese)
The Thick Of It ( political satire.)
Stella Street....... Hard to describe, you have to watch it!

Not all of these were shown here in the US, except for maybe Fawlty Towers, but I could be mistaken.

No, you wouldn't get it. It has subtitles when shown in England! About some old people in Glasgow. Hilarious! I've shown it to American friends and family and they understand about 2/3 of it and find it funny.
