Did any of you guys ever get the British sitcom The Goodies, I was just thinking about these guys and cannot recall any threads about them over the years.
I loved this show when I was a punk school kid.
I would classify them as the poor man's Monty Python.

Another show that would be decimated by today's "Political Awareness"
Wow, I had no idea you guys got the Goodies over here, or was it in your days down under?
Bill Oddie is hated by Clarkson and the top gear team for being such a strong environmentalist.

We got The Goodies a little bit when I was young, on the local PBS affiliates. Just a couple of seasons. I seem to remember an episode about a giant kitten climbing the Royal Mail tower.
Punk school kid eh? I would think you would gravitate more towards The Young Ones:
The Goodies were from an earlier time, we got the entire multi seasons of episodes downunder.
The Young Ones came along quite a bit later

Excuse all the high tech CGI folks
We really miss "Coupling".

I made the mistake of getting the young ones out from Netflix a while ago. Oh dear, I feel sorry for my teenage self. I used to love it.
One of my past bands was named after a quote from The Young Ones. . .

Newspapers would never spell it out. It was either B.F.S.M. or B*?#$ Funky S!# Machine.

looks like America only got exposed to British tv via the MTV networks- MTV and Nickelodeon. MTV also showed some godawful British soap opera for a couple of years in the late 80's, too...
