UK TV today find it very difficult to show Till Death Us Do Part and In Sickness And In Health because of the nature of the shows. I am British and live in the US so I know both shows pretty well. All In The Family was a very watered down version of the original British show so it is easier to put it on TV. The reason why UK does not show these shows today isn't because they weren't funny or no one would watch, it is because of complaints about the content. Same goes for Benny Hill.
@primcebabyfirefly;,ALL IN THE FAMILY MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND IS STILL ON TV TODAY IN SYNDICATION,FORTY YEARS SINCE IT AIRED, IS SICKNESS OR IN HEALTH ,OR TELL DEATH DO US PARTS STILL BEING SHOWN ???
i love this, just because alf comes out with predjudice opinions doesnt make it a racist or sexist programme. It's a program with a character that is like that. It's brave and confronts it. I'm pretty sure shows like this helped shape equality in modern day society.
"All right, Sambo". He's not that racist, it's quite sweet and funny ;) Alf Garnett is hilarious and Sickness and in Health is better than Till Death us do Part. Love Dandy Nicholl's deadpan expression . Classic !!!
I loved the character of Else better than her American counterpart Edith, because Else had alot more spunk than Edith usually did. Else more than held her own with Alf;NEVER would have allowed him to call her a "Dingbat"!
Frankly, I think American television producers "Borrow" ideas off successful British television programs because they are too lazy and unimaginative to come up with their own ideas. I have noted that when they do this their American programs do tend to rate BETTER than much of what they produce when they do something original.
Brilliant...'you could pass for Catholic' LOL
