Love, love, love PBS! I watch it often. If some of these shows are not British, I apologize.....they were shown on PBS. As you can see, one of our TV's is on most of the time and one sits near my computer so that I can play on the 'puter and watch TV all at the same time. My sweet hubby has the same setup in another room. We are not nuts, just retired and enjoying our leisure time. Tee, hehehe. British shows: A Week with the (?) Royal Family Masterpiece Theatre (absolutely love this program) Henry VIII Henry VIII's Wives (wow, loved the history) Poirot (a favorite, we have it on tape too) Sherlock Holmes Faulty Towers (our all time favorite) James Bond movies on TV The gardening show where they make over patios Are You Being Served (To: I Love Bugs, yes I remember allllllll of those oldies but goodies.

I remember all of the older shows. When I was in school, a lonnnngggg time ago, I would rush home from school to watch the Mouseketeers! I had a very serious crush on Annette Funicello, along with millions of other teenage boys!
I beliesve that I saw every M*A*S*H show ever made. My boys lived on reruns until they were out of high school. Maybe they still do. Brian has fond memories of Annette also, back before she became the peanut butter queen. Dooley Oh, we just disconnected our TV. Too many shows we didn't watch. It just wasn't worth it. Dooley

I am television-challenged for things more recent - I watched it some when I was growing up (Bonanza, Speed Racer and Knight Rider come to mind) but once I hit college I didn't really watch it anymore. My kids watch the PBS stuff (I still love the Mr. Rogers factory tours)... I find I really enjoy the older shows on dvds, where you don't have the commercials to deal with. We have the entire Muppet Show collection and borrowed three seasons of Gilligan's Island from friends and so enjoyed them! We also have several seasons of MacGyver and StarGate SG-1. I grew up with Monty Python's Flying Circus too, my dad always watched it - good fun.
