I love looking at decked-out truck cabs. Something about them, they’re like spaceship pods. And I get it, if my job was to drive all day I’d want to make my cube as cool and useful as possible.

Not in the parts where I lived. It may have bled in along the border, but I never heard of it until 2003 or so, and watch episodes on youtube occasionally. We got Chicago broadcast where I grew up. I think Mr. Bean ran on the PBS station, WTTW.

Iowa Public Television aired it in the 90s. I don't think any of the networks ever picked it up but individual stations may have.

yeah, it really depended on how cool your local public television affiliate was ours ran a whole block of british comedy - mr. bean, are you being served, keeping up appearances, and then late at night when poo poo got real spicy, red dwarf and monty python eventually they threw red green into the mix. "its canadian, close enough" also pretty osha

And I get it, if my job was to drive all day I’d want to make my cube as cool and useful as possible. My dad introduced me to the Smoldern comic, Gypsy, about a Roma truck driver roaming around a post-nuclear winter Earth on roads that span the world, when I was about nine. Ok, cool. Rouge Trader with trucks. Yeeeeears later, I got into DSD delivery and talked with a bunch of truckers. Yeah, pretty lovely job once you get into it and kind of hard to leave because of the money. They all seemed to enjoy the actual driving part, and at least appreciated their trucks for what they could do. Still wanna learn how to drive one. Closest I get is pulling trailers behind my pickup and it just feels so cool to be able to put the combination where you want it. Even when you need a person to guide you through a tight squeeze, it hits some nerve in me that feels good. A bunch of small frustrations with a little hit of endorphins everytime you manage it. gently caress the entirety of the business past that, from what I've heard of it. Maybe I could drive some clapped-out farm truck part of the year? That sounds fun. Ancient and unsafe equipment, a schedule that lasts all day and into next week, endlessly lovely, dusty, dirty work. gently caress, I'm just dumb enough to volunteer and maybe smart enough to survive with all my digits. Where was I going with that? gently caress knows.

Iowa Public Television was great. On Friday nights they'd have a sci-fi lineup that would start off with Jack Horkheimer, the Star Hustler*, despite the show not being sci-fi. It was an astronomer who looked like the platonic ideal of an 80s nerdy uncle who gave a 10 minute astronomy lesson, then move on to Red Dwarf, then old Dr. Who reruns. It ruled. *"Some people hustle pool, some people hustle cars, but have you ever heard about the man who hustles stars? Jack Horkheimer, the Star Hustler."

Decades later, I moved to Pinellas County, Florida and learned there were people who actually met him. He was a real person, and by all accounts a nice dude. I shook hands with people who shook hands with Jack Horkheimer! I know people who knew him! Blew my goober-rear end mind.

The only public television I really remember is watching Wishbone and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego on WCET as a kid and my dad's insistence on watching Kentucky Afield every Saturday evening on KET, despite barely ever hunting or fishing, and never in Kentucky.

It’s about a fictional lodge/men’s club with a bunch of skits every episode related to it. It has aged surprisingly well considering the premise. There was also a movie but it was kinda bad.
