Didn't know Rowan Atkinson was known too much in the states? He was very good in Johnny English, Blackadder... and of course, Mr Bean.

What about Australia mate? I've been a fan of The Fast Show for ages, not to mention Fawlty Towers, On The Buses, Little Britain, Mock The Week, Yes Minister, Goodness Gracious Me and of course, The Office. you have got good taste man.Basil Fawlty is THE man Cheers mate, but it's a shame that most of those shows are gone now...I of course forgot Father Ted, The Sketch Show, The Catherine Tate Show, The Vicar Of Dibley and Red Dwarf, but who's counting, eh?

I'd say he was just behind Ricky Gervais on the well known scale. He was also in Rat Race and Scooby-Doo.

I enjoy The Mighty Boosh when I can stay awake til 1 on Sundays and remember to watch it.
EDIT: Also, althought not current I used to watch Fawlty Towers with my mother and loved it. John Cleese was great, as was whoever played that bellhop that did not speak English.

I love watching Top Gear, those are guys are incredibly entertaining. Another one I really like but haven't seen in a while is My Family. That was one of my favorite sitcoms to watch on BBC America. Mighty Boosh is okay, but I feel like I should be smoking something while watching and I don't do that anymore lol. I have yet to catch an episode of Britain's The Office, but I have heard nothing but good things. Keeping up Appearances was another good one, always loved the Buckets (Bouquet).

Is Gavin and Stacy shown over there? Its legendary. An American series was in the pipework I think. Most likely just the same people but on holiday to America or something. It has a huge following over here, should definately be in the States. It's epic.

As a Brit, and love British Comedy, I recommend;
Bottom Young Ones Rab C. Nesbitt Mr. Bean Goodness Gracious Me Only Fools and Horses (Can't believe, this has been mentioned, only once) League of Gentleman Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps (Though, not sure if Americans, would get the humour) One Foot in the Grave (I DO NOT BELIEVE IT, that this hasn't been mentioned)

And agree with the Two Pints comment, the humour is quite local and contains a lot of local lingo etc.
