I can remember Monty Python being on the local PBS station (Watertown, NY) late at night well into the 1980s (years after they stopped making the original episodes) and my father remarked with a little humour that that was probably because all sorts of people in the Ottawa area gave them donations conditional upon them airing that program.

The several PBS stations we get in Eastern New England are constantly showing Britcoms and have been since the early 70s. It's how I first became a fan of Britcoms,a love I have to this day.My video collection is chock full of BBC comedies and dramas. It's certainly a healthier addiction than meth!
