   Never heard of "Some Mother's...", but Fawlty and Dad's Army were great.   
   Blackadder was good...didn't care for the third series, though.   
   And, of course, Monty Python.

   I don't think I heard my mother laugh any louder than when she was   
   watching "Are You Being Served?"

   I know my mom liked As Time Goes By as well.  I was an assistant to a   
   head band director several years ago who liked Vicar of Dibley.  I   
   didn't think I would care for it because we had different tastes in   
   things...but he kept on it, and so I gave it a try.  Yeah, I liked it.
