PTV is where I discovered Monty Python, "Fawlty Towers" and "Are You Being Served?" It is also where I got to see the remaining episodes of "Last of the Summer Wine" after being introduced to it by the original A&E back in the 1980s, and where I found the sequel to "Yes Minister" (another A&E introduction), "Yes Prime Minister". The other Britcom I recall getting widespread PTV airing is "Keeping Up Appearances" even though I never got into that one.
And speaking of comedies I don't "get", "The Red Green Show" is a Canadian production which is reasonably popular on PTV stations. I think people only complain about comedy on PTV if it originates in the U.S. On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 11:41:27 AM UTC-8, Tom Wolper wrote: > > As to people complaining about comedy on PTV, that's where we discovered > Monty Python.
