That's pretty close to my choice (except for the Rossiter and Crawford ones). I'll put in a shout for a real forgotten obscurity - Colin's Sandwich (Mel Smith). Only ran for one series, I thought it deserved better. Edited February 25, 2018 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) In no particular order: red dwarf fawlty towers the young ones Uncle blackadder the fast show coupling father ted the it crowd Episodes black books the inbetweeners Whilst I thought the office and extras were good, i’ve never been able to take to gervais who I find generally unfunny and now just plays themes of the same character. Also can’t stand James corden so have never bothered watching Gavin and Stacey. Edited February 25, 2018 by theboyangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 MrsVM's done a list of ten Spaced Black Books IT Crowd Absolutely Fabulous Fleabag Green Wing Harry Enfield and Chums Spitting Image Red Dwarf Little Britain Her honourable mentions for The Mighty Boosh - Bottom - The Vicar of Dibley - Blackadder - Only Fools and Horses - One Foot in the Grave - The Thick of It and No Angels. She says we are quite obviously a bunch of lads with our Men Behaving Badly's, Vic and Bob's and The Inbetweeners and the thread could do with a female perspective! Anyway her list is wrong but I typed it out like a good boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sorry, but the Mighty Boosh is as funny as typhoid. Probably not helped by my dislike of Noel 'shit eating grin' Fielding. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
