Yes absolutely; Keeping Up Appearences is a one joke outing. I can watch "As Time Goes By", because of the phenomenal acting ability of Geoffry Palmer and Judi Dench. We don't get talent on that level here on TV. I like the understated humor of the good british sit-coms just like I like the slapstick humor of the good American coms. Trouble is there has not been a decent American sit-com since Seinfeld. At least not on regular TV. I don't know if the Office will appeal to you then because it is very laid back. But some of the scenes had me on the floor. So tell me; you really take a personal opinion regarding the people portrayed on the shows and their behaviour as individuals? Thats a novel approach.

It's not so much that I take offense by the shows or see them as anything other than entertainment. It's just that I don't enjoy watching twits on TV, characters made to be uncomfortably quirky just to be funny. I mean, some quirky characters are really funny, like the ones on Seinfeld. Loved those guys. But the fat lady that's demanding of the brow-beaten husband on "Appearances" should have been kicked to the curb on the first episode. No redeeeming features and the show isn't even funny in my opinion.
"Pneumatic Symmetry"! I love it! Wayne, you need to TM this right now. Think of the advertising! "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Doppelganger 3000, with Pneumatic Symmetry (TM), sonically clobbers the competition." (Cue large breasted women in bikinis draped over the speakers)Brilliant!
Well; thats true; the neighbor woman next door who is so nervous about visiting that she always upsets the apple cart is pretty funny but that is just replay of old vaudeville jokes. I see the husband as a decent, long-suffering guy who despite the wifes frantic need to put on airs and present as royalty still loves her and is willing to tolerate her eccentricities as a result. That premise goes back to W.C. Fields and The Bank Dick, the hen-pecked nice guy husband.. I see a lot of folks who live in similar marraige dynamics. Most guys are whipped in some way or other; if it isn't apparent then it's subtle, but it's there. They'll admitt it if you press them.
I also love the kick drum. I have been playing with the table tuba and getting nothing close to what i want. your design looks like my first big system that i had made from parts i got at work. lots of power and lots of jbl drivers. for me it all went downhill when hometheatre got big and 2 channel died. ya got me hooked
