ThinkDifferent:
I'm not a 40 year old woman - I just like British humor. I agree that Everybody Loves Raymond is generally pretty crap, but the odd hilarious moment sort of compensates for it.
Faker:
Hope you took the "40 year old woman" statement as the joke it was intended as.
I love British humour too, would consider shows like Fawlty Towers and Blackadder etc to be the quintessential examples of British humour.
However, the vicar of dibley and keeping up appearances are, in my opinion, just lazy, cliché driven, and old fashioned. It's like they were written by former Butlins red coats. In fact what really surprises me is that the vicar of dibley and blackadder were both written by Richard Curtis, how one man could produce two shows which are the antithesis of each other astounds me!
Inlander:
It's because on Blackadder he had Ben Elton helping him out. Ben Elton wasn't there for the first season, or at least not the beginning of it - and look at the difference between it and the next season.

Manny (Bill Bailey) on why he has to return to black books after a brief stint as a model for a very sleazy arabic man making obscure japanese beard based pornography...
"there are some things that money can't buy. Like the love I found in a little bookshop off Russell Square. Yes, love. You know, not, well, not love so much more... more... freedom! You know, fre... well, not really freedom, more a largeness of heart. Well, not really a largeness of heart... or freedom... or love. But I was never contractually obliged to sleep with foreign businessmen, alright?"
Black Books is the most wonderful comedy shows in the history of comedy shows. Yes thats a little bit of hyperbole there but anyone who's seen it knows why its that impressive :)
