It's okay. Hyacinth reminds me so much of my landlady. Looks like her, acts like her, is as punctual as her, goes overboard on etiquette and is NOSY! Just take away the British accent, and you'd swear it was my landlady! And yes, I've watched all the episodes, and yes so has my landlady. She thinks it's the greatest!

It really is such a great show. I use to watch it with my grandmother when she was alive because she liked it, and I got hooked!

I watch it every nite! The actress who plays Hyacinth is SO good. I saw her on some mystery show too. I love how they call each other Our Rose, Our Hyacinth, etc.

I agree. One of my all-time favorite series! I did discover that "Our Rose" died a couple of years ago. I was very sad to learn that. I saw an interview with Patricia Routledge {Hyacinth} and she indicated no more would be made, as she didn't want people growing tired of the characters and the show, and saying "Oh, is THAT still on??!!" She is very good as Hetty Wainthroppe, but she will really always be Hyacinth to me. She is such an accomplished actress, which I also learned from the interview, and WHAT a GREAT singing voice she actually has!!

Totally agree! Keeping Up Appearances is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! KUA is, IMHO, totally the funniest show on TV today by far. And Mary Millar (Rose) did pass away in November of 1998...

Here's a website about this fabulous show

I love Hyacinthe, she makes me laugh every single time!!! One of my favorites is when she 'sings at' her male neighbor; I also love it when people see her coming they hide! LOL

I just love this show it's awsome! I love it when Hyacinth has people over and then her fmaily comes over in that car oh that car I love it when they turn off the car and it makes that loud bang that is so funny and then Hyacinth tryes to get them to leave that is halirious. But I really do feel sorry for poor old Richard all that he has to put up with. My favorite ep is when Hyacinth goes to this auction and has some goosberry wine and gets drunks and says The Dauga ladies homemade Goosberry mine, that line gets me every time.

K.U.A. is one the funniest Sitcoms I have ever seen! It always has me in stiches laughing! When I went to England a couple of months ago, I popped on the T.V., and saw American T.V. shows on Brit channels!
Here in the U.S., we get Brit comedies on the PBS stations only---too bad, were missing on a lot of great stuff. We need a British channel added to our cable.
Why are British T.V. shows only shown in PBS and not anywhere else?

That is a good question,why are Britcoms shown only on
PBS?

brypie · 01-21-2002, 03:32 PM

I recently got the BBA America on cable and they show different Britcoms on there, including KUA. It's weird though beacuse they have commericals. Anyway, some of my favorite Hyacinth moments are when she is being chased by something or someone.

wren · 01-21-2002, 10:44 PM

I always laughed whenever she went to visit Onslow because there was a dog in the car outside that always barked at her and did she ever jump and look with such disgust. It was hilarious!

Blair85 · 04-07-2002, 01:11 AM

I love this show too. I think it's very sad that the lady who played rose died! They are all good actors/actresses! I think I've seen all the episodes on PBS & now I've got BBC America & it's on there too. Always remember Hiacynth, Hyicinth (sp?) answering the phone & yelling, "Bucket residence, lady of the house speaking!!!!!"

My parents like this show.I perfer Are You Being Served?
btw:Has anyone heard of a show called Barbara?They are
showing it now on Saturdays after Keeping Up Appearances
