The US version of The Office is awful. But not every Americanized version of a British show is bad. Anybody remember "All in the Family"?

Well, I'm sure Fox News prefers to ignore it.
Are you implying that they are not really "Fair and Balanced"?
I SAY GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR!!

I signed it yesterday, and passed it on. Thanks for posting it here!
I also e-mailed my representatives regarding it, and asked the local paper to cover it. Why is this still under the radar in the US news?

Script for the Drama "Beware of Rebellious Talk!"
by Bonnie_Clyde ini just spent 20 minutes typing a very interesting post from a script of the bible drama given as a dc several years ago of how the wt applies the korah, dathan and abiram account to anyone who speaks in any way against the watchtower, the organization, or the faithful and discreet slave.
the modern day characters are brother loyal, brother faithful and brother doubter.
at the end the families of dathan and abiram and lined up in opposition and then the screams begin and the opposers fall backward as if they have swallowed up by the earthquake.

Ah yes, the sublime writing style of Brooklyn. Always looking for that lowest common denominator.

being a baby dub in the 70's
by katiekitten inim from a small backward industrial town in the north of england.
in the 70's when i was a kid no-one had a car.
we used to meet for field service on the street corner and have a pep rally right there, then stand in a circle and say a prayer.

LT: "Captain Caveman", yes! How could I forget about him?
Fleaman: "Sheriff Lobo" was a spinoff of "BJ and the Bear"(trucker and his monkey driving around and solving people's problems). In the 70's every successful(and some that weren't) series had to have at least one spinoff show.
Speaking of cartoons, was Snagglepuss supposed to be English, or just gay? (I kid, I kid!!!)

Anybody else see a problem with this website?
by avishai inlet's start with this statement who most often commits domestic violence?
overwhelmingly, it's heterosexual men in relationships.
however, if we refer just to the act of hitting or physically hurting another person, research statistics from the 1980's and early 1990's shows women are as likely or more likely than men to hit or physically harm a partner.

I guess you did also give us CHiPs, Magnum, and the Bionic Man,so you may be forgiven
Don't forget about the Bionic Woman.
Did "BJ and the Bear" and "Sheriff Lobo" make it over there? How about cartoons, did you get any of our economical Hanna-Barbera animation(they were recycling long before it was fashionable).

The Story of Uncle Malcolm
by katiekitten inthis is a great story and its totally true.. peter kay says that when you are a kid you have loads of aunties and uncles, your uncle bob because he once borrowed your dads orbital sander and your aunty mary because your mum goes to weight watchers with her.
i thought it was a witnoid thing, or maybe a north of england thing, or even a 70's thing.. uncle malcolm was (is) an elder in my childhood congregation, a little wiry bloke in a flat cap and painters overalls.
lived in a council house opposite my nana's with the ample aunty jean, two large shiftless sons and lots of budgies.

Katie,
Bravo! Another great story, hope there are many more to come.
May I be so bold as to make a request of you? I'd be very interested to hear how your Dad went the from second strictest elder in the hall, to Lord Tokington of Sweetleaf. How'd that happen?!
Cheers, Matt
