i watched the first episode of 'The IT Crowd' the other day and i'm not sure how i felt about it.

probably watch the rest of the first series since its short, but thats about it.

That Mitchell and Webb Look kills me.

Little Britain as well. Some of its better than others. Several of my friends like The Mighty Boosh, but I find it to be super unfunny. The IT Crowd also sucks. Different tastes, I guess.

now that's what i'm talking about

The IT Crowd is a bit dull in the beginning but then gets better. I had just watched the 4th series and it was pretty boring compared to the first 3.

I enjoyed the first series of Gavin and Stacey...but then the second series hasn't been available here.

I have always enjoyed Fawlty Towers. I have just added Peep Show and the Royle Family to my Netflix queue on a friend's recommendation.

IT Crowd - ok, Moss is a comedy force but sometimes the show suffers for this.

Peep Show - Classic

Nic, the royle family is ,imo, the greatest thing ever made, but it might take you a while to realise that people sat on their arse all the time is funny.

Recent stuff, The Inbetweeners is really worth investigating.

And if its classic comedy you after then its the Young Ones or Father Ted.

I may be a bit out of touch, but......

The IT Crowd, F-ing awesome. Working in IT 40+ a week I love it.

My other favorite, The Young Ones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4_ZrbToSSU)!!!!!!!!!! GO Vyvyan!!!!

[NicRN77]

Father Ted is so funny. I've seen almost every episode!

I enjoyed the first series of Gavin and Stacey...but then the second series hasn't been available here.



There are three series of G&S and its fucking brilliant even if James Corden has become a twat of the highest order

I dont want to put anyone off the Royle Family but am really not sure it will translate. I hope it does but there are people in UK who dont get it, at all.

But i think its piss funny.

They have yet to release the 2nd or 3rd series on DVD here in America. I'm kinda upset about that!

I liked Survivors from last year. That was ok drama, got a bit daft and its got gareth from peep show in and i just cant take him seriously in anything else.


Life on Mars was great.
Ashes to ashes was ok.
