Britian had there own Rodney Dagerfield in a series.Till death us do part. The character was Alf Garnet....same humour with a British twist.
Morecombe and Wise done Christmas specials that were pretty good and manditory in our house!!
Rowan and Martin's laughin was a riot I loved it and so did my friends in Glasgow.
I never found Jerry Lewis funny..just annoying!
Billy Connelly though was not understood when he first came State side, but after being persuaded that perhaps he should not be so "glaswegian" seemed to do alright although I wonder if people really "get him" over here. I think he is very funny but then I speak the language.
George Burns, very funny, as was Jack Benny and I think they made the crossing of the waves intact.
