Title: Little Britain in the USA
Post by: oldspice on October 13, 2008, 05:58:45 pm: Does anyone feel that they are over-stepping the mark with some of the sketches? Some of the joke lines have been postively vile, even for a broad-minded person like me.

Having said that, I LOVE the couple who are celebrating their 40th anniversary. She's just brilliant. I've actually met people like her!

Ask me again at the end of the series.
PS: aren't American half hour shows short?!

I like them too. You see couples like that in restaurants sometimes desperately trying to convince themselves they still have some interest in each other.

I think some of the sketches are crude for the sake of crudeness, but overall I quite like the show.
