"British TV has nothing on American Tv."

Your location says New Jersey, if this is true then you can't really judge British TV.

It's much harder for you to judge our TV than it is the other way. Purely because of the fact that British TV is largely (always has been) American imports. When I was a kid I was raised on M.A.S.K, Transformers, Marvel etc. American movies and TV shows. American TV is a big part of our lives growing up, it's a huge influence. So we have a possibly better knowledge of American TV than of our own.

You on the other hand, most likely were not raised watching English movies, Faulty Towers, Only Fools and Horses or a myriad of other British shows. I have a better understanding of British TV than you to, British humour also. So it's fair to say I have a near equal view of American TV to you plus a higher knowledge of British. You on the other hand, may have a higher knowledge of US TV, but your knowledge of British TV won't match mine or someone elses from Britain, most likely.

My point: You aren't in a position to say British TV cannot touch American.

exactly
i could say ..have u saw only fools and horses...or little britain etc
the answer would be no...he's probably never saw a british show in his life

"he's probably never saw a british show in his life"

Bit of a big assumption.

Shouldn't assume things like that.

i know that he has saw british shows...i was under exaggerating
i just meant that unless u see programmes like only fools and horses, phoenix nights, harry enfield, the royal family, men behaving badly, steptoe and son, which is unlikely i think....then u cant come on the thread and say british tv has nothin on american tv 🙂

You probably won't like "Only Fools and Horses" unless you are from London and have an appreciation of the shit that surrounds the place. Which I don't and therefore think it's tripe.

Check out "I'm Alan Partridge".

woo woo woo alpha!
ofah is the offical no 1 brit sitcom eva 😠

To you.

"I'm Alan Partridge" is much more intelligent British comedy. As is "The Office."

O.F.A.H is just Delboy Trotter strolling around getting himself into funny situations like a modern day Laurel and Hardy. Something I think has been dead since then.

Er excuse me, i come from Sunderland, in the North east, no where near London and i love Only fools and horses. Its one of my fave sitcoms ever. ANd the rason that its a sitcom about Del boy screwing up is because its called a 'Classic' sitcom, which means they have rules. Rules such as, men always fail, women are the most bossy, and the men are like children.

And you also say he always gets himself into funny situations, well DUH! Its called a situation comedy, hense the phrase SITCOM!

"alan partridge is great too...but not as good as the office"

In intelligent humour, "The Office" rules.

"Its one of my fave sitcoms ever. ANd the rason that its a sitcom about Del boy screwing up is because its called a 'Classic' sitcom, which means they have rules. Rules such as, men always fail, women are the most bossy, and the men are like children."

My point exactly. I think all that is rather shit.

"And you also say he always gets himself into funny situations, well DUH! Its called a situation comedy, hense the phrase SITCOM!"

In terms of a shady salesman type situations. I am aware of the meaning thanks.

ofah is the best

You can't get any better than Only Fools & Horses and Little Britain - OFAH & LB ALL THE WAY!!!! 🤣

The only American comedy I like is... umm.... umm... ummm.... err, just wait, let me think! Don't know really... Simpsons is not bad but not that good either and I hardly ever watch that, can't remember the last time I watched it and that was only because nothing better was on tv...

Exactly, I don't like the American accent, well, not how George Bush talks and some others too but I don't know what any American accents sound like
