"A Fish Called Wanda" bombed in America? First I've heard- I thought it was a smash hit. The follow-up, Fierce Creatures, was a deserved bomb, showing that Cleese was quite capable of uninspired drivel just to make a buck. And I agree with Kendall- American sitcoms are often very good. Just a few- Seinfeld, Cheers, Taxi, Barney Miller,Drew Carey Show,Wings, Frazier,Raymond, Dick Van Dyke Show.
