IMO, Absolutely Fabulous was very funny. We did an American version of the show. (I can't even remember what it was called.) It was still funny, but the two main characters were made a lot less...erm - "dysfunctional." Took a lot of bite out of the humor.

I liked the American "Sanford & Son" better than the British version, but it may only have been because 1) it included humor about things more familiar to me, and 2) Redd Fox.

I LOVE Red Dwarf! Is it still on? I haven't seen it on TV here in the US in quite a while.
