Len, I used to feel the same way, but one of my best friends kept insisting that I watch British comedy tapes she had, and eventually it all clicked. It took some time though, admittedly.

I simply cannot stand British "comedy". Hate it, hate it, hate it!

It's like getting used to caviar.

Lentinman,

You have every H50 episode and hate British comedy.

You are one sick puppy for sure. And you don't read fiction. But you will watch Jack Lord playing cop.

Hey but there is hope for you:
Quentin Tarantino Turns Down 'Hawaii Five-O'

Quentin TarantinoQuentin Tarantino was horrified when studio bosses suggested he directs the big-screen version of cult '70s show Hawaii Five-O - he hates the series. Warner Bros. Pictures are currently developing a movie version of the Jack Lord-starring TV show, which ended in 1980 after 12 years.

He says, "My producing partner at the time Lawrence Bender was hanging out with some dude from Fox or Warners or whatever, and they said I should stop working on what I was doing, because I'd be so into this. I tried to watch the old TV show, but it sucks. I don't even like Hawaii."

I wholeheartedly agree. Never quite understood that wanky British humor. But the British sure know how to create great pop music!!!!....

.... and I've always had a fondness for their fun little sports cars like the old Triumph's and MG's(I've had many).


Not many liked this for humor....but Rogue thought it was hilarious!! If you've never seen it....worth a look!
