Do you think it's because 'murricans find brit shows too "highbrow" or simply because it's an unfamiliar style of humor? the working classes like AYBS and such, too. I think it's more an issue of familiarity...and better talent, frankly. They have Rowan Atkinson, we have Gilbert Gottfried
Brit comedy is the one thing from that country that I'm intensely envious of. Their money is prettier, too, but anyway.
