DVD Talk Forum - Britcoms only have 6 episodes? For instance, Fawlty Towers and the Young Ones each only had 6 episodes per "season", but shows like Keeping up Appearances and As Time Goes By were a little more varied. However, I can't think of any Brit show that has close to the 20+ episodes per season that American shows do. It's sheer brilliance in the few episodes we got, but if America had green lighted the series, it would have run for 24 episodes a season and more than likely lost that edge and become boring and dull. www.dvdtalk.com /forum/printthread.php?t=395366   (1694 words)

recaparchive2005 Cleese also wrote and starred in Fawlty Towers and A Fish Called Wanda. Monty Python displayed a strange and completely absorbing blend of low farce and high-concept absurdist humor, and remains influential to this day. Only a dozen episodes were made, but each was truly hilarious, and he is still closely associated with this program to this day. www.diningaround.com /recaparchive2005.htm   (16598 words)

Situation comedy - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography Possibly the best example of this was Fawlty Towers, in which there were three attempts to Americanize the show. US sitcoms are often characterised by long season runs of 20 or more episodes, whereas the British sitcom is traditionally comprised of distinct series of six episodes each. British sitcoms, many from the BBC, are a staple on the government broadcaster Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Australian equivalent of the BBC, and traditionally many have also been shown by the Seven Network. www.arikah.net /encyclopedia/Sitcom   (3314 words)

DVD Talk > Reviews > Last of the Summer Wine Last of the Summer Wine is not always laugh-out-loud funny like most other popular UK imports (Absolutely Fabulous and Fawlty Towers come to mind).

Last of the Summer Wine is presented in its original 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio, a far more common standard for British television broadcasts. www.dvdtalk.com /reviews/read.php?ID=10840   (1510 words)

Yabedo Latest News - Phil Silvers named 'best sitcom ever' Mr Lewisohn added: 'Seinfeld, second only to Bilko, was also outstanding for most of its 176 half-hours, and though the 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers were sublime, to sustain such excellence week after week, year after year, gives it the nod over John Cleese's masterpiece'.
