“Keeping Up Appearances” was a little too slapstick for my taste, but their outtakes on youtube are priceless.

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.

You might want to check out “The Dectorists”. First two seasons are on Amazon Prime.

Oh, Fawlty Towers is hilarious with the greatest of all Pythons John Cleese as its star.

Basil berating the German tourists and beating his car with a branch - priceless!
