You DO pick where it is posted actually. However you CAN go to teh UK or Australia or Canada or US site and post even when in the US. It posts based on the site you are on. It doesn't matter where you are though. Anyway I don't even watch most of these shows as they are just so stupid. Thing is enough people ARE watching them or they wouldn't remain on.

We in the UK find American so called comedies absolutely childish. There is always a screaming audience. Jokes are on the level of 5 year old kids who laugh at Willy's and poo. There is always some so called adult putting someone down and the woman are cast as air heads. The other clever lady who answered onviously does not understand how Yahoo works. Qs are often put on the UK and USA and Australian sites when traffic is slow, it does say all English Qs. We do not choose where it ends up.

"This question about "Am I the only Americ… " was originally asked on Yahoo! Answers United Kingdom" Suuuure you're American. Your IP address says otherwise.

Wow. There’s loads. Glad you’re loving Alan Partridge!

I’m going to give you the long answer – because I love my comedies! In no particular order…

Life’s too short (about a dwarf, by the makers of the Office and Extras),

Coogans Run (Steve Coogan’s characters before Partridge),

The Inbetweeners – about four teens being idiots, best new british comedy?

BlackAdder – set in different English historic time zones. Medieval (don’t watch series one – its crap), Elizabethan, the Regency, and WWI. About a complete bastard (Blackadder, played by Mr Bean) and his dimwitted accomplice, Baldrick. Warning: Last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth may bring tears.

Father Ted – Three catholic priests living on an Irish island. Pretty anti-catholosism. Ridiculously funny.

Men Behaving Badly – two flatmates, drinking beer and leading a pretty sad but funny laddish existence

League of Gentlemen – Horror comedy. Unique.
Psychoville – by the makers of Leauge of Gentlemen. Horror comedy again. Not as good.

Bottom – slapstick. Two flatmates live in squalor, constantly drunk, thinking about sex and beating eachother up. Lovely.

Peep Show – two inept flatmates, one ridgid office worker, another dreamer musician. From their point of view.

Young Ones – before Bottom. Four students – a punk, a ‘poet’, a hippy and a ‘ladies man’. Slapstick. Classic.

Only Fools and Horses – No. 1 British comedy of all time. Always will be. Watch it.

Absolutely Fabulous – two spoilt fashion ‘gurus’

Red Dwarf – science fiction comedy. A human, a ‘cat’. a driod and a hologram on a space ship.

Pulling – Three female housemates. Desperate; self obessed; and an alcoholic school teacher.. Works well.

The Royle Family – Revolves around the living room of a family in Manchester who mainly watch telly all day. Absolute genius.

Phoenix Nights – set in a cheesy nightclub

Shameless – a drama really. But very very funny. About families on an estate in Manchester.There’s and American version but its not as good. Too sexed up. Are Americans really better looking than English people – or is it just they’re not allowed ugly, dirty people on TV?

Rab C Nesbitt – Try and make out what they’re saying. Scottish family in run down estate.

The Mighty Boosh – the fantastical world of the Boosh. Out of this world, fantasy comedy. Very wierd. May take a couple of watches to be hooked. Unique.

Nevermind the Buzzcocks – a celebrity music quiz show that has e laughing my head off (are you British? You may not get the jokes).

QI (Quite Interesting) – a celebrity quiz show where I get most of my knowledge from. Giving interesting facts and questioning what we already know.

Of course there are loads of classic comedies like Faulty Towers and Porridge, but I’m listing the ones I like…

If you don’t mind going back to the 70’s you can gorge yourself on The Goodies, Are You Being Served?, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave Em, The Two Ronnies, Benny Hill etc etc etc

For more modern one, try Tracy Ullman’s State Of The Union.
