Benny Hill Show is the only comedy that has caused me to laugh so hard that twice, I drooled coz I laughed too long, three times I laughed milk into my nasal cavity and one time I laughed hard enough to fart by accident.

:D

It was on here when I was a kid, every once and a while the censors used to screw up and we\'d see boobies. I loved "jackie" the little bald guy who Benny used to smack on the head all the time.

His sexy girlies in the nurses uniforms that used to chase him were the best.

Also don\'t forget that song that Benny had in the charts "Ernie".

It was broadcast in the UK by Thames television, but they axed his show, so it is probably whoever broadcasts it in the US.

well, I don\'t know about now, but that Thames logo always accompanied the show when I was a kid...

Yes, Benny Hill and The A-Team.  The two pinnacles of television entertainment.  The twin summits of quality television writing.  When you think quality, you think Benny Hill or the a-team.

Just kidding I liked Bennie Hill while it was in syndication in the US.  Monty Python was better.  The A-Team mostly sucked.

Best theme song ever. I\'m known in another community for my use/abuse of this song. For anyone who plays Counter-Strike, its my uber 1337 knife music :D:D

Download the best song ever here (http://www.gamerforge.net/~hlsssv/files/Benny%20Hill%20theme.mp3)

A year ago I bought some Benny Hill Tapes at Suncoast.  He\'s the man used to be my fav prime time show when it was on years ago.

Benny Hill is still running at some TV channel over here. I don\'t normally watch it, but I caught it by accident the other day... he\'s a bigger pervert than me. :D

EDIT: I used to watch it years ago. :)

One of the best comedians ever IMO, I loved the show, and still do. We got some 8 hours of the shows on tape, but they\'re a bit absent ("lost", chit) right now.

Benny Hill
The Fast Show
League of Gentlemen
Get Smart...

...works of genius.

Does anyone else miss Get Smart? Damn it was my very fave show for a long long time, now there\'s no trace of it anywhere. Hasn\'t been on finnish TV for over 10 years, no videos, no DVDs, no nothing.... :(

But... heehee, I just found a 4 hour tape full of that sweetness too ;)

Get Smart, is that the programme with the guy who does Inspector Gadget voice (Don Adams)?

Actually, I think that\'s just somebody imitating don adams.

Also- back on Benny Hill...  how about the "ma-nah ma-nah" song

(ma-nah ma-nah, doo doo do doo doo...)   :D
