Britcoms (Was: Hooray! Celine Dion rumour false!

[dfrankis at dial.pipex.com]

I'd forgotten the Vicar of Dibley (Amy's role model?), which I really 
like.  I haven't seen Waiting for God or As Time Goes By. The rest 
are old. Of course, so is TNG now.  Patrick Stewart for Mad-Eye 
Moody - the voice is everything.

What I particularly liked about Ally was the interplay between the 
courtroom and the personal issues, mixed with the humour.  Series 3 
(I think it was 3 - Billy dies) was less good because there were 
fewer courtroom scenes.

Are they really called Britcoms in the US?

David, still laughing about 'I can't believe it's not butter'
