Jeeves and Wooster

I don't watch a lot of TV, but one show I particularly enjoy (my favorite?) is Jeeves and Wooster. It's a British period comedy about a well-to-do but not very active or accomplished British fellow and his remarkably adept butler, Jeeves. Jeeves knows just about everything there is to know about any subject, and he can solve nearly any problem or fix any predicament. This is fortunate, as his employer, Bertie Wooster often finds himself in difficult circumstances.
Hugh Lauri, who stars as Wooster is currently known more to American audiences as the star of the television show "House".
Stephen Fry, who plays Jeeves, has been in several movies and television shows.
Apparently I'm not the only one that enjoys this show, as there are several web sites dedicated to the show.
Here are a few clips on Youtube to wet your whistle. Look for the show on your local PBS station.
