Preston, thats excellent!

I hope you threw out that Pink FLoyd album though right after the 'music that debases' talk (see my other thread).

Englishman - sorry for calling you thingumy earlier (hangs head in shame).

Your only failing was being born on the wrong continent. Otherwise you would be in the euphoric state of nostalgia that we now occupy!

We were raised on double entendre, and often didn't come to realise what it actually was until out 20s+

Katie:
I was in love with the blonde too, just not the same one you're refering to (assuming you're referning to Bo Duke, and not Daisy )

Also, let's not forget the other cast "members" of Captain Pugwash:
Master Bates and Seaman Staines.

Best banned TV was all American stuff (you guys are just too naughty for us)

Interesting, I always thought British TV was more risque than American, what with the girls with pasties dancing on Benny Hill, and the gay character on "Are You Being Served".

I don't know, those still sound made up to me. In the states, our shows didn't have such silly names. The Seventies were truly our golden age of television:

Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch, The Bugaloos, Jabberjaw, Fangface, Hong Kong Phooey, Elektrawoman and Dynagirl, The Hair Bear Bunch, The Banana Splits, Sigmund and the Sea Monster.

And that was just Saturday morning, evenings were even better! Halcyon years, indeed.

Some urban legends should be allowed to live

6669:I guess you did also give us CHiPs, Magnum, and the Bionic Man,so you may be forgiven

you are right really. I always thought Benny Hill was right out of order, as well as not even being funny. And all those pussy jokes in Are You being Served! But I supppose we make allowances for our own smut, so that we can feel righteous about someone elses.

I loved American TV so much i was unable to realise as a child that the accent was american. I thought that was just how everyone spoke, except me!

Which might go some ways to explaining why we understand them (most of the time) but they don't understand us!

Crumpet

You do the Americans an injustice sir with this:

why we understand them (most of the time) but they don't understand us!

Americans and Canadians had no trouble understanding me when I went there. Its just you with your faux Scottish accent they cannot comprehend!

(I larve dicin wiv def, I do - crumpet gone cockney)

And there I was thinking that you travelled to the cosmopolitan tourist areas - the faux-Canadia, if you will.

At the Hallowe'en bash in Florida, a couple of years ago, most of us Brits got the "Uuuh?" comment, at some point or other. I would therefore conclude that it's not just my "Heinz '57" accent that is difficult to follow
