Here's my shame list of current American Sitcoms:
- New Girl
- Two broke Girls
- (Some other programme about gymnastics that shall remain nameless - my ability to shame myself only goes so far)

Plus Big Bang - great show.

Let's see now, my favorite things about the good ol' US of A:

- BBC America
- Laughing at how bad Yanks drive
- Finding new British food sections in local supermarkets
- Being a looong way from my family
- Trolling people about my close relationship with the Queen
- My wife

New Girl's a good show too. Also Raising Hope, but then I always liked My Name Is Earl and it's done by the same people.

I still enjoy House, even though it gets slagged off on here regularly.

None of them can hold a candle to Porridge, Blackadder and Red Dwarf, but then you could argue that few shows in the UK today can either ...

I had to explain the word Smeg to my colleagues last week.
I'll have to see if it's on Netflix...Somehow I doubt it.

It should be - all the series were released in North America on DVD alongside the UK release. Might not be available for streaming but they should at least have a disc.

I already had seasons I-V on UK DVD so I brought those with me. I haven't got around to completing the set but back when they were bringing them out in 03/04 the Red Dwarf website listed a US release date alongside the UK one.

I really must buy season VI. I haven't watched Gunmen of the Apocalyps in a really long time.

Yup, we watched them from the beginning on Netflix, and let our older boys watch it.They love Red Dwarf.
