I personally really like it but it's not as huge as say only fools and horses or minder ( classic British comedies ).


Honestly it's a very pleasant surprise

If it were not for closed captions, we would not understand it at all.

We're new to viewing it, and Elaine's strange use of the English language just leaves us in stitches. But we're Southern, so we have our own literary challenges.

( How do they know when to tag "innit" on to the end of a sentence?)

Yes the Cornish accent lol or country accent as its known here. I could imagine the misunderstanding there


I'm the same I like southern American shows like big rich Texas and big tips Texas and understand it fine but when I watch lizard lick towing ( North Carolina ) at times I have to pause and rewind but I do find it funny especially when a row kicks off.

However I do love the southern accent btw.

I believe that "innit" is their version of "isn't it". It's used as "isn't it" a lot in the Asian Indian culture, from what I've observed first-hand with some of my Asian Indian co-workers. Londoncowboy, am I right?

BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | It's Hinglish, innit?

It appears your spot on it's a common word and even I didn't know where it come from LOL

Buts the Indians are really funny at pronouncing English words and I think it's something that British homour had picked up on.

Very impressed

I was surprised it shows over here also. Usually all we get for TV are shows in reference to murder and violence, reality TV shows. Then of course much of American TV is commercials, related to every Prescription Drug on earth. Perhaps that is why there is an audience for PBS and Doc Martin. Many of us are starved for decent TV, which frequently comes from the UK. Some great TV programs comes out of the UK.
