We've recently begun rewatching "YONDERLAND," a quirky fantasy show featuring many of our favorite British actors. We love our surreal and hallucinatory Britcoms. #yonderland #britcom #britcoms #sitcom #sitcoms #britishtv #britishtelevision #debbie #MarthaHoweDouglas #MathewBaynton #SimonFarnaby #JimHowick #LaurenceRickard #BenWillbond #cultclassic #classictv #prestigetv #prestigetelevision #fairytale #fairytales

An old gag from "The Bob Newhart Show":

Bob tells Emily a story about an old college girlfriend who was an aspiring psychology student. But he constantly psychoanalyzed her & eventually drove her away from both himself & psychology.

"She went & did something much less challenging, something she could have done in her sleep. She became a school—." And suddenly, staring at his wife, the schoolteacher, he goes silent midword.
