“Keeping Up Appearances” was a little too slapstick for my taste, but their outtakes on youtube are priceless. Patricia flubs her lines and makes faces while Clive breaks into a helpless toothy grin; the actress portraying Elizabeth cannot control her laughter around Patricia’s ad libs, and Onslow & Daisy’s bloopers are a show unto themselves.
IMO Britcoms are,to we yanks at least,an acquired taste.They range from the completely juvenile ("Bottom","The Young Ones") to the more cerebral ("Yes,Prime Minister") and lots of great ones in between.
I first got hooked on them in the 60s when I saw "Doctor In The House" on our local PBS station and have been a fan ever since...although the *most* recent stuff I've seen is pretty lame.
If you have some free time I'd encourage you to watch episodes of "Fawlty Towers" on youtube.It's considered by many to be the best Britcom of all time.
