4th series is terrible


Considering how good the 1st 3 series are

Yes it is, which was why they threw in the towel halfway through.

"The Light Entertainment War" is fücking brilliant, though.

I'd say it's terribly uneven. Parts of it are very good, such as "The Golden Age of Ballooning" and portions of "The Light Entertainment War", "Mr Neutron" and "Michael Ellis", but much of it is also bad. Apparently Cleese gave them some material to use in the fourth series, I'd be interested to know which bits were his.

Why do we say TV "seasons" in the US, but they say "series" in the UK?

I think it's because TV shows tend to have longer runs in the US, sometimes up to 26 weekly episodes, so "season" is a more appropriate description.

Also, in the UK, we don't like to confuse television with the weather. Next thing you know, it's raining TV sets and you've ruined your brolly. Nightmare, I tell you.
