I remember being around nine or ten when my mom introduced me to a thing called British comedy. I have to say that through the years I have laughed at a couple, but thought the majority was just... dumb. Perhaps being an American I have a different sense of humor, but I have always laughed at this series.

Are You Being Served

It was a series that was set in a store with the staff being the main characters. Mr. Lucas(Trevor Bannister) was my favorite, followed by Mr. Humphries(John Inman). I think but I'm not certain that the actor who played Mr. Lucas is the only one left alive.

I remember watching this show at like 4am when I was like 13. I had no idea why I was watching it either.

Halfway through part 2- really funny show.

I saw it in the channel listings late at night when I was a kid but never watched more than a couple minutes. You may have converted me to a fan.

There is loads of great British comedy floating around free on youtube. You could also check out Thin Blue Line or Yes Minister. Most of this stuff like AYBS never gets old

I have the complete series on DVD. I love the sense of humour they have, it makes me laugh so easily.

Lol, this is one of the most broad British sitcoms out there - kind of funny that you liked this and not others :p

Not really a particularly good representation of British comedy :o Check out Brass Eye or Blackadder for some really good ones

Don't mention the war!

FT and Blackadder are epic indeed.
