The things Children Say????

But you might just be right lol.

I miss the not as old shows like Married With Children. And the older Mash series.
And hate these newer reality shows.
Kids Say The Darndest Things & Art Linkletter's House Party

Groucho's show was, You Bet Your Life

By the way here is a treasure chest of old shows to be enjoyed online for free: (In case no one has posted them here yet.)

Hulu - Watch your favorites. Anytime. For free.

Fancast - Watch full length episodes online of your favorite TV shows, movies, and celebrities

Quote:
In2TV - AOL Television

Look at the menu on the left hand side of the screen and click on one of these two links to get an alphabetical listing of the old shows they have available to watch.

# In2TV Shows (A-J)
# In2TV Shows (K-Z)
These sites don't have ALL the old shows but I'll bet you'll find some favorites you haven't watched in decades!

It really was brilliant.

There are so many funny scenes available on YouTube that I can't post them all. But here are two. One is the classic scene with the Germans.

YouTube - Fawlty Towers | Germans

This one has a series of clips.

YouTube - How to manage your staff
Britcoms are good. I own Fawlty. And Backadder

Sorry I can't just say "Ditto."

I find most Britcoms boring.

Fawlty Towers and Benny Hill were favorites because the brilliance of their creators and writers was translated into a lot of physical humor, sight gags and universally understood situations.

But British accents are difficult for my ear to pick up on and British references (to UK people, places and events) leave me cold.

One thing that is required in british humor is men dressing like woman. Every Brit comedian I ever saw has dressed in drag at some point.

I considered that too. But we have both kinds of comedian. They have the cross dressing kind only.

It's not a sure fire laugh getter in my book but it doesn't disgust me, either, as it might some people.

I had to get past that aspect of their humor to eventually appreciate how funny they were. It's my loss that I resisted their Gay overtones for so long. I should have embraced it and enjoyed it sooner than I did.
