Did Father Ted have much impact in the US? - it always seems v British/Irish in its humour (but that’s true of Monty Python of course and that obviously made it over there)


It didn't have the cultural impact of many other shows, though certainly some people know of and have seen it. It's less well known/referenced than even Red Dwarf and other fairly niche shows in my experience.


BBC America is a thing since 1998

I forget that shows from non-BBC channels in the Uk can get shown on BBC America.


We loved it in Australia.
