I saw two episodes of it and it made me stop watching BBC America all together. I had that channel for like, two years and they mostly showed Changing rooms and boring drama series, and the only comedy they ever showed was either:

1. being repeated all over PBS (Keeping Up Appearances, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, The Thin Blue Line, Are You Being Served, etc)
2. stuff already out on DVD, easy to rent on netflix, or already been on cable channels in recent memory (The Young Ones, Absolutely Fabulous, Father Ted, The Office)
3. Already been on other cable channels (The Young Ones on MTV & Comedy Central, Absolutely Fabulous on Comedy Central and Oxygen)
4. In the case of My Hero: Stuff that's awful and unfunny.

We need a "Channel 4 America," except people would think the "4" means "for," I'm sure. I'm not sure of that would actually be good, but it seems like I've seen a bunch of shows that I liked that originally aired on Channel 4. I just wish there was some kind of British Comedy channel that allowed for shows that aren't easy to see.
