"Are You Being Served?" was frequently seen on public TV stations' Saturday night Britcom block for many years (the various U.S. syndicators of BBC programming, the current one being BBC Worldwide America, syndicated it to stations). I haven't seen it in Chicago lately and BBCA only aired it occasionally (since their focus is on what British TV is airing now or recently, not years ago), but it had a following and had its own pledge drive clip show/BTS doc, which meant that it had to be a good fund-raiser.
