View original postThese are my favorites, in no specific order. Feel free to disagree.

I've seen literally none of those, not even heard of the majority. Maybe once one episode of Cheers? I'm not sure. Presumably you haven't heard of several of mine either, seeing how the large majority is British...

Mine (English language) would include, in no particular order and also including comic sketch/game shows:

Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
Absolutely Fabulous
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Yes, Minister / Yes, Prime Minister
A Bit of Fry and Laurie
Coupling
Archer
8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown
Simpsons
Derry Girls

I'm sure I'm forgetting some good ones still, perhaps seeing others' lists will remind me (edit: thank you Greg, can't believe I forgot DG!)


I credited you too since I can't believe I forgot AbFab. I've certainly quoted it and used photos from it enough on Facebook. Your list is definitely much more British than American comedy. Do you find American comedy not as funny/too overt compared to British dry humor?

His stand up was the worst. So unfunny. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 10:14:57 PM 252 Views
So the show's no good? aerocontrols - 11/01/2024 09:56:06 PM 213 Views
Correct damookster - 11/01/2024 09:58:32 PM 251 Views
Well, your opinion is NO GOOD! aerocontrols - 11/01/2024 10:03:13 PM 252 Views
Ooooh this is so hard. Top 4 have not changed in decades though. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:02:29 PM 260 Views

Yes, I did wonder about that actually... Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:25:17 PM 247 Views
You and I have very many in common. LiterateDog - 12/01/2024 02:27:47 AM 238 Views
Oh, this is easier to answer. Seems we have even less overlap, though. Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:10:55 PM 243 Views
Haha. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:19:16 PM 244 Views
Regarding your question, see my edit. Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:32:02 PM 263 Views
Damn it, I forgot Archer and Monty Python! *NM* damookster - 11/01/2024 10:00:45 PM 107 Views
If we're including panel shows, my answers are easier! Ghavrel - 11/01/2024 11:40:48 PM 267 Views
Yeah, the Brits are great at absurd panel shows... but that one is the best of all. Legolas - 12/01/2024 08:52:55 AM 229 Views
They're quite good! Ghavrel - 13/01/2024 10:43:30 PM 243 Views
QI! Floffe - 13/01/2024 07:25:00 PM 254 Views
Yeah, QI is one of those too, though not quite as hilarious as it's also supposed to be interesting. Legolas - 13/01/2024 10:38:16 PM 271 Views
I think you were the one who introduced me to "Yes Minister" Cannoli - 12/01/2024 04:00:03 AM 291 Views
Good to hear! Legolas - 12/01/2024 08:50:39 AM 279 Views
I also forgot Sanford & Son. Another great comedy. *NM* damookster - 11/01/2024 10:08:48 PM 101 Views
I don't really watch comedy, so I can only think of a few! Ghavrel - 11/01/2024 11:37:57 PM 244 Views
I appreciate the chance to add a few extra. LiterateDog - 12/01/2024 02:21:14 AM 244 Views

Ok, I'll bite ... is this rejuvenating the site, btw? Tom - 12/01/2024 03:08:21 PM 264 Views
Futurama and Newhart are excellent picks. *NM* damookster - 12/01/2024 03:23:56 PM 93 Views
