I'm from the U.S. and my parents are from the Jamaica i found this show funny if anyone can recommend some more shows like that i would appreciate it.

[LEXICON505]

this show was brilliant, BRING IT BACK i say!

[zenzombie72]

@SARISS80 Not me. I'm just prejudiced against awful comedies being called 'classic'. A more suitable word is 'historic'. Desmond's was much better, but only in patches.

This is great!!!

@adtoml i /c I was wondering cause people believe the negative images of black people in america. that we dont respect other people or cultures, it is wrong not all black people in the US are ghetto or arrogant. we do have respect for other countries and their way of life.

@SARISS80 i guess u mean are the white british people prejudice. like with all places there are some who are and some who are not. but i just depends where u go.
