There's "Are you Being Served", "Cracker", "Red Planet" and "Faulty Towers" that I understand are big hits in the UK, but only seen on PBS over here "across the puddle"

Murphy - we used to get Red Planet on tv here. It was great. Another good Brit one is Keeping Up Appearances.
However, there's a soapie over here called Neighbours, which has a huge following. The Brits get it as well and I believe it's big there too.

I am a 'Fawlty Towers' fan John Cleese is so funny.
Another british comedy that has a huge following was 'Are you being Served'
and of course the science fiction series 'Dr Who'
American ones that have a huge cult following are 'Star Trek'
and 'The Adams Family'

My heart belongs to the original Batman. That's good TV, same bat-time, same bat-channel. Although I wasn't even a glimmer in my father's eye when that came out...

I know something like "the invisible man" and I loved it. Was it a scientist becoming invisible by an accident, always painting his face or using a mask for being visible and solving difficult cases?
Another one that I loved was "The Munsters". and "Jeanie" (that one with Larry Hagman). And "My Uncle from Mars" (was that with Bill Bixbie?)
