Tell me what you think

From the lens The Kumars at No. 42.

What do you think of the Kumars at No. 42? Do we Americans really get it? Anything to add to my lens?

    I am a huge, HUGE fan of this show! I love Ummi...I almost fell over in shock when I found out that she's the same actress who played Nasreen in the Doctor Who episode, "The Hungry Earth." They did such a fantastic job on her make-up/costuming for Kumars that I almost didn't even recognize her!

    As far as Americans getting it, well, I can't say. I'm American but a huge fan of a lot of British TV, largely because I do love and appreciate this kind of humor.

    I think you did a fantastic job of summing up the show, and all the extra info you added was very enlightening to me! You might want to add another piece of info I just stumbled across that totally surprised me. In real life, the actors who play Sanjeev and his grandmother are actually MARRIED, to each other. LOL. That had to make life on the set of this show rather interesting!

    hi, does anyone know what episode the Khumars went for the 'English' meal...when they ordered the most bland food on the menu?

    I love it

    thanks for your help

    that isn't The Kumars at No.42. That is from a different sitcom starring the same cast called Goodness Gracious Me

    Oh yeah, this show is hilarious. I forgot all about it until I saw a link for it here. Wish they'd bring it back, I hate interview shows usually but this one was pure genious.

    LOL...love it :)

    The Kumars are a genuine representaton of a large element of British society...in the street where I live, we have at least 2 families here who are undoubtedly related to the Kumars :D

    It's a very "British" thing and that fact that it is so well written and performed that it can transcend a cultural boundary is great :)

    5*

    Very funny show. Can't speak for everyone, but this American gets it.

    Don't think I'd heard of this one before. Will have to hit the Tivo and find it so I can watch it at home instead of here at work. :-)

    I've seen some good shirts at www.TheIndianInch.com, seem to go along well with the other shirts you're showing. Saw it on other Squidoo lenses.

    "Kumars" is awesome.
