My Favorite British TV Shows

I love British TV. Their shows are humorous and funny! I started watching British TV back in the 90's thanks to PBS and A&E. Now I can Netflix most any that I want to watch. It's great. It also helps that my boss is from the UK and tells me which shows to watch!!! LOL If you haven't tried a British Comedy you should. You might like them.

Here are few of my favorites:

As Time Goes By - With Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer:



All of the seasons for As Time Goes By are available in the US. This is a regular show on the PBS Saturday British TV lineup.

Midsomer Murders - with John Nettles:



Only seasons up to 2009 are available on DVD in the US. PBS does show it sometimes. The main actor, John Nettles, has left the show but it's still being made. I'm waiting for the 2010 season to come out on DVD.

New Tricks:



Season 1-4 are available on DVD in the US. This is another one that PBS shows occasionally. They are still making the show in the UK so now I have to wait for Season 5 to come on DVD!

Law & Order UK:



This is just a new series I started watching. Not sure if the DVD is available in the US. It's on BBC America. Be careful though the judges and lawyers wear wigs!!

Are You Being Served?:



Another PBS regular. DVD's are available. One of the first we started watching. Are you free???

Lovejoy - with Ian McShane:



I started watching this on A&E back in the 90's. I think all the shows seasons are available on DVD. Not sure if it's shown on TV anywhere in the US.


Jam & Jerusalem:

This is my favorite British TV Comedy. It's wonderfully funny! They only made three seasons but to me it's the best three seasons of tv ever made (well except for I Love Lucy!)

Here are a few video samples to wet your appetite!!

Outtakes:




The Shows Theme:



Jonathan Creek:



This one is my newest shows to watch. I just finished Season 3 and I like it so far!!

Check out the Internet Movie Database for more shows!

Comments welcome!!

Remebering a favorite actress

Elizabeth Montgomery

April 15, 1933 to May 18, 1995

I loved her as Samantha on Bewitched. I almost named my oldest daughter Samantha but went with Sara from A Little Princess the 1904 children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.



Didn't you wish you could twitch you nose like Samantha?

Monday!

It will soon be time for a new season of Dancing with the Stars. Here is my favorite dance from past seasons. Joey & Kym:


And I like this group dance too:


If you watch Dancing with the Stars do you have a favorite dance from past seasons?

Things I'm thinking about????

Did you watch Newhart back in the 80's? Season 1 is on DVD.



Why do I have to pay more for a box of decaffinated tea bags and not get as many in the box as a regular box of tea bags? And they are the market brand as well.


Will the Steelers repeat next year????


Did you see the parade?

We watched some of it at lunch time today on the NFL network! exciting stuff!

I still haven't finished this book! Why? I have no idea.

Probably because of football!

I have been watching Coach on DVD.

I love watching these TV shows for years past!

I'm loving LOST!

I'm loving watching the new season of Lost! Each week the episodes have left me with a million questions and a few answers! I love it!

This weeks show was about Juliette. She had one of the best lines in the past 4 seasons.

Jack: “You people had therapists?”
Juliet: “It’s very stressful being an Other, Jack.”

Next episode - Thursday, March 13th!

Photos from ABC's Lost website.

The Price is Right

Bob Barker is retiring after 50 years on TV. Tonight is a prime time show and tomorrow night is a look back at his career. I've watched The Price is Right since I was a little girl. It was a summer tradition. I haven't watched it much in the last 13 years because of working but I try to watch it on days off. I also remember watching Bob on Truth or Consquences.
