Have any Americans seen ‘Little Britain’ yet? BBC America? Anybody? No?

[Little Britain](http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/littlebritain/index.shtml)

P.S. I can’t take Tom Baker seriously anymore.

Looks like it might be fun, but right now my BBC viewing is limited to EastEnders (nothing good ever happens to those people, does it?), The Office and MI-5 (Spooks).

I suspect that it’ll follow the path of _The League of Gentleman_, and latterly _Monkey Dust_, as programmes which are truly wonderful for their ability to creat something new within established genres etc etc., but the only problem is that they’re a bit rude. So there’s no way they’ll grace the purity of BBC America.

BBCAmerica mainly shows Benny Hill and Are You Being Served. British comedy at it’s best ☹

BBCAmerica was showing it at one point. Aside from a couple of chuckles, it never really connected with me.
