I feel like Philangist is probably showing his US roots here: the most popular of Fry's works on this side of the pond is Top Gear. As an American, the only reason I ever came across A Bit of Fry and Laurie is because of a British friend, and I hadn't heard of QI or Jeeves and Wooster. And I've some exposure to British culture (I've watched Doctor Who, Allo Allo, Black Adder, Black Books, Orphan Black, Black Mirror (you guys like your black names!), Monty Python, and others that don't immediately spring to mind). I'm somewhat surprised to find what didn't make it over to the UK from here, though. Someone recently asked me why Americans call her "Willis" and ask what she's talking about, for example.
