Red Dwarf. I love the scene where the crew are trapped by the despair squid. They drive those wooden crates so well!

Shows I liked.

Taxi - a whos who of great comedy actors Andy Kaufman, Christopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch, Danny de Vito, Tony Danza
Cheers/Frazier
Little Britain
The Young Ones - anarchy in the UK
The Simpsons- It was biting satire once
The Office (UK) - so awfully embarassing some scenes made my teeth ache.

and my favourite of all time

Fawlty Towers (especially 'the Germans')

Definitely Green Wing - the scene where he flogged the dwarf to death with a stuffed heron was priceless. And the Scottish mad woman was brilliant!

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps was also really funny.

Red Dwarf, of course.

What about 'The Test of Time'?

Apart from selected bits - the Chermans aye - I can't watch Fawlty Towers now - it's like pulling teeth.

Some of the others are a bit the same. Familiarity has bred contempt maybe.



The Aussie shows - D Generation and Late Show, Norman Gunston and Comedy Company still raise a smile.

Noone mentioning Cheers... fair enough, personally I thought it was fackin funny. Frasier, Two and a Half Men (or Men Men as the girls call it), Blackadder, SOAP, Bottom (et al: young ones, comedy strip presents etc...), Men Behaving Badly, Red Dwarf (up to series 3), Absolutely Fabulous, and several others mentioned here...
