I thought the British version of Who's Line is it Anyway was better than the American version by a hundredfold. Maybe it had that quality that "nobody I know will ever see this" that it lacks now. Maybe it's just that the comedy is more Americanized. For instance, a popular game on the BBC version was for the contestants to tell a certain story in the style of their favorite author. I'd like to see THAT one on ABC. Plus, the host reminded me of Kelsey Grammer, who I think is funny beyond words.

I'm telling you, British comedy is hysterical! I was watching this one last night where there were these British people who worked at a clothing store, and the supervisor's name was Captain Peacock. Maybe you've watched it (I've forgotten the title). It was on PBS last night, and I did not stop laughing. Then, my mother walked in and she did not get any of it. She hates British humor and doesn't understand it. Hmm. Oh well.

> > Ok, Morris, put me down as another one who likes British Comedy. (When listing things that they do wrong, you failed to mention food. Eeuyukkeee! And Viva Mexico.)I especially like Mr. Bean. On a cruise about a year ago, our waiter in the formal dining room looked so much like Mr.Bean, the other waiters called him "Bean." But he was a Turk, not an Englishman and a very good waiter. I kept expecting him to do something funny, but he was a very serious guy. Too bad. If he'd just bumbled a bit, it would have been a better cruise.
