I can't sit through any of Keeping Up Appearances or Last of the Summer Wine. do they suck or am I just getting old and cynical?

No they pretty much suck, objectively. The pacing is fit only for heavily medicated people, and every gag was telegraphed before any of us were even born.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

I think it's just old as hell now. The Flying Circus stuff is from literally half a century ago. Nerdy teenagers watching it on PBS reruns in the 80s and quoting it on Usenet were only ten or fifteen years out from its original airing, and the films were still in theaters (Meaning Of Life was 1983). Fifty years is a much bigger cultural gap to span.

The equivalent of a teenager today watching Monty Python would be those 80s nerds watching like Marx Brothers films or something.

I'm trying to think of British TV that I, as a brit, actually really like and coming up very short. Life On Mars, Ashes to Ashes, some of Dr Who, Psychoville and Friday Night Dinner. I've watched Downton Abbey too but mainly for the sake of watching it.

Even as a kid my main watches were Simpsons, Fresh Prince and Malcolm in the Middle. I'd accuse American cultural hegemony here but I think the fact of the matter is we're not very good at it.

I like watching them for that reason, they are little time capsules. Having said that, I've been showing my 11 year old daughter the classic sketches and she is laughing her rear end off. It started when I realized she ought to know where "spam" came from, but she does enjoy them. I've overheard her quoting lines to to her friends, and getting no response. I remember that from my childhood.

Great British Bake Off, The Thick of It, Black Mirror, The IT Crowd, The Crown, Broadchurch, Bridgerton Sherlock and Catastrophe are all relatively recent (like last 15 years) British shows that I've enjoyed.

Other poo poo that I've enjoyed but probably/definitely dont hold up are Blackadder, The Office and Black Books

e: oh forgot to add: Skins, Misfits and Ali G. I'm told Peaky Blinders is really good too

One of the key differences between British TV shows and US tv shows is that British ones generally end while they are still good. US ones keep going until they stop being good, and then end.

Friday Night Dinner is on Prime and it's great. Two adult brothers go to their parents house every Friday night for dinner. It's a situational comedy.

Every time I see this guy dancing I imagine people in like 100 years looking back and trying to fit it into a particular style or category of dance and just utterly failing, but also refusing to believe it wasn't part of some sort of popular dance movement for how widely shared the footage is.

But then I remember the earth will be a nearly uninhabitable wasteland in 100 years and the internet along with everything on it will be inaccessible.

Notably missing from both this and the show: hey maybe grading "sins" and "good deeds" on a linear scale like a person's life is simply the sum of their atomised actions is the real problem and we should question that
