Maybe you should encourage everyone to sign it? There's a petition on the QI website to get BBC America to show QI. Maybe you should encourage everyone to sign it?

I would much rather watch this than reruns of Benny Hill. Why isn't it offered here? This is why BBC America's programmers need to be fired. I would much rather watch this than reruns of Benny Hill.

If you want to see a funny episode search for one with Vic Reeves. He seems to know loads of really obscure facts and he's really funny too. I think this show is probably the most nerdy thing since University Challenge... but that doesn't stop me constantly watching it on UKTV gold!

A mix of the The News Quiz and the Brain of Britain. (I only wish Linda Smith she were still alive to be on it.) If the Beeb won't keep it going, drop the posh sets and keep this one going straight to the net. Fry, you've done it again. Kudos! Great stuff! A mix of the The News Quiz and the Brain of Britain.

I've seen all the "Keeping up Appearances" and "As Time Goes By" (both funny, in different ways) episodes and don't think I can stomach "Footballers' Wives". I'd heard of QI of course, but have never been fortunate enough to watch it. hey eggshaped -- any chance you can light a fire under somebody to get Q.I. sent to the U.S. via "BBC Amercia".
