   The titles are so British they almost sound like jokes.

   Is it possible these aren’t the name of the shows, but just suggestions of the name, because they couldn’t get the rights? Like calling Cheers “The Bar Where They Know Your Name?”

   I agree with Cully – I grew up in Britain and I’ve never heard of these shows. I think they’re cheap royalty-dodging covers of real shows – I’ll bet “Space Puppets” is Thunderbirds. Still, funny stuff.

   You think?

   I see they don’t have “Up Your Pavement” or “Nozin’ Around”.

   Dollars to donuts due to the “future digital” type for “That Fellow You Know,” I’m betting that one is DOCTOR WHO.

   Although, THE TUBE was a real program.

   Too bad they didn’t have my favorite British TV show the comedy duo of “Bollocks & the Wanker”.
   I think NBC is in talks to make an American version.

   I used to love Frustrated Hotelier and Homosexual Innuendo when they were on PBS.

   I always thought EH, WOT? had a rather catchy theme.
