The fact that this was on a children's show says pretty much all there is to say about the difference between UK and US audiences ... or at least everything I want to say about my perception of the two.
I was raised on puns, irony, and Watership Down ... it's possible, but we're definitely not in the majority. Not enough to influence broadcasters anyway.
Yep, raised by a cup of coffee... and Monty Python, Black Adder, and Ripping Yarns. It's weird to think that there are people out there who don't "get" Monty Python.
