On 7/26/02 9:35 AM, "Michael Gunter" <countgunthar at hotmail.com>  sat on a
tribble, which squeaked:

    Ah, but "The Young Ones" rocked.      And my mom is a Coronation Street
junkie.

    The funny thing is I'm more familiar with British TV than my lady is -
and she was born and raised by her grandparents in Essex.    However, her
grandparents didn't want a TV, so she never got exposed to anything Auntie
Beeb did on TV.

    Oh, let's see.   I'm pretty much limited to what made it over to this
side of the pond, but Blackadder, Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Dr. Who and a few
others that I can't remember the names of.    And I do believe that there's
a special place in hell for the creators of "Mr. Blobby"......
