Subject: RE: BS: Does Humour Cross the Ocean Well?
All of the British comic series on television were funny. One I liked but no one else in the family appreciated was "The Last of the Summer Wine."

Rick Fielding listed some comics I couldn't stand- Myron Cohen, Joan Rivers and Prof. Backwards to name three. Jerry Lewis- duh!

Sid Caesar, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Steve Allen, Joe Penner, were great. Phil Harris was good. How did they play "over the waves?"
