Anyone else love this stuff?

Lately I've been watching a lot of Spaced and Black Books (Dylan Moran is fucking hilarious), but I remember loving Red Dwarf and Are You Being Served, Mr. Bean and Keeping Up Appearances.

oh god, and Fawlty Towers. That was Cleese at his best.

Red Dwarf is my favourite show in the history of television. I just got the third season (I already have season 1 and 2 on DVD). Honorable mention goes out to Only Fools and Horses (probably the most well known English comedy ever), Blackadder, [obligatory] Flying Circus, and The Mighty Boosh.

Red Dwarf was one of the best shows on TV. they used to show it at midnight on saturdays on PBS when i was little.

8/31/2006 8:22:03 PM

Black Books ftw. I'm so glad it's coming on TV again.

8/31/2006 8:25:00 PM

^ I had tickets to see Dylan Moran in England over the summer but I got food poisoning the day before


btw, that episode where Bill Bailey plays the piano for everyone is my fav.

That show can be great ^

but it does get really repetitive.

It still comes on PBS every once in a while. I caught the episode where they were celebrating Rimmer's death day the other week.

Looking at the schedule, it seems to come on every Saturday at 11:30 pm.

Has everyone forgotten "Yes, Minister" or was I the only one that loved the show?

8/31/2006 9:24:27 PM

^^sweet, i know they stopped showing it for awhile, but i'm glad to hear its back

8/31/2006 9:25:55 PM

I have Series 1 of Black Books on my computer and Series 2 & 3 on DVD. Fucking love that show. Bill Bailey is my personal hero, for real.

Also, if you get a chance to watch Peep Show... check it out. Straight flat brilliant.

Oh, and the boss thing about that piano episode of Black Books is that Bill Bailey is really playing all that piano music... because the man is the fucking king of life.

The second season of Look Around You sucked.

But the first season was brilliant!!!

9/7/2006 12:46:10 PM

9/7/2006 12:51:02 PM

9/7/2006 1:22:44 PM

Thanks ants. Thants.

9/7/2006 1:33:37 PM

My Life in Film

the episode about driving school that's a parody of Top Gun is hilarious

9/7/2006 2:59:43 PM

The only thing funny the british made was monty pythons flying circus, on the bbc channel at 11:00 everynight. Red dwarf was childish, I don't even remember the half episode I watched before I changed the channel.

9/7/2006 4:00:12 PM

THE YOUNG ONES FTW

9/7/2006 4:03:06 PM

^i forgot about the young ones...man, you're old

[Edited on September 7, 2006 at 4:44 PM. Reason : oh, maybe not...i guess i'm old!]

9/7/2006 4:44:03 PM

little britain is hysterical, it is definetly repetitive, but is repeatedly funny.

coupling is pretty good too.

9/7/2006 9:59:56 PM

Flying Circus and Red Dwarf are on back to back right now (PBS).

9/16/2006 11:09:20 PM

i was always a big fan of Bean and Red Dwarf. wish they'd show more of this on PBS.

9/17/2006 11:51:59 AM

I just watched the first episode of Extras. If you like The Office, you'll probably like this show.
