From Wikipedia ... "It is based on the British television comedy series Till Death Us Do Part. Despite being considerably softer in its approach than its BBC predecessor, the show broke ground in its depiction of issues previously considered unsuitable for U.S. network television comedy" did you notice the bold text I added just so you couldn't miss it?
Well sorry, no one over here knows or cares i guess. Out of all those you listed the only one i know is Mr Humphries. I guess british shows just don't do well over here because people can't relate to them in the same way.
