This country is brilliant, it just gets that small English village mentaility perfectly.

The Detectorists - not laugh out funny, but just general feel good show with some comedy mixed in

___________

I like what I've seen of This Country and, yes, I really mean to get round to The Detectorists.

I take it everybody saw Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse's take on Blackadder?

90s British comedy is hard to get back into. I tried to rewatch Men Behaving Badly recently (the Neil Morrisey years) but it was more dated than watching videos of us lifting trophies. Might try the Fast Show next.

Game On season one - before Ben Chaplin left - was the GOAT though

I’m not even trying to bait you, I always forget she’s Australian because nobody good ever speaks with an Australian accent on screen. It’s just a fact that Miranda Richardson is the gratest Elizabeth.

Blackadder goes fourth is overrated. 2 and 3 are better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You’re a Blackadder hipster
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardly. Loads of people prefer 2 and 3.

Miranda Richardson’s Elizabeth is the goat Elisabeth on screen as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree on miranda

3 was my least favourite (still brilliant) although Hugh Laurie as the Prince is magnificent

The episode with the dictionary is hilarious

Schitts Creek
Everybody loves Raymond
Two and a Half Men (with Charlie Sheen)
OFAH
Family Guy (seasons 3 to 7)
Simpsons
In-betweeners

Then for the non-comedies I'm currently on my second run through of Narcos. So so so good.

I actually liked both Matts, in different ways, though Chaplin probably edged it. But yes, Game On was great.

Red Dwarf, series 4-7 are the peak. Rimmer is one of the most underrated characters on TV. Polymorph is probably my favourite episode.

This country is brilliant, it just gets that small English village mentaility perfectly.

The Detectorists - not laugh out funny, but just general feel good show with some comedy mixed in
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I seem to recall that I didn't like Red Dwarf as much when the special effects improved.

Whilst we're talking Chris Barrie I recently enjoyed watching The Brittas Empire again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It really dipped in quality when Chris Barrie left, all the best episodes revolve around Rimmer.

Brittas empire is great

I never got into The Fast Show and it used to vaguely annoy me when people preferred it to Harry Enfield.

About a year or so ago I rewatched some episodes of Bottom as well. So wrong, but so right

Office & Parks and Recs get a fair amount of rotation

Peep Show, Inbetweeners & IT Crowd usually once a year.

Then in the lesser watched would be stuff like Black Books, Spaced, Garth Marenghi

Now we’re talking, Bottom is amazing - very base, but it never pretended to be anything else. Love the cattle prod episode

Comedies are easier I think. I can watch OFAH, Fawlty Towers, Porridge, Phoenix Nights etc over and over.

As for Dramas I can watch Life on Mars, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, X Files time and again.

Blackadder
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Which series or all of them?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All

However my favourite series is 2 and the episode potato with a brilliant performance by Tom Baker as captain rum. YouTube Edmund hires a boat.

My favourite moment though is from the final episode in series one when Edmund gets his gang of cutthroats together to overthrow the king and there's a scene done like a spaghetti western with music to the show and the pictures of the gang appearing on the screen

Never fails to make me laugh.

Obviously the final episode is brilliant and poignant considering it's a comedy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Love all four series of them but the best character bar none out of the entire series is General Melchett in goes forth, Stephen Fry is just superb

My fave Bottom episode is the one with the seeexxx aftershave spray thingy. If I’m not mistaken it’s the one with the Falklands veteran too πŸ˜‚

Mrs Brown’s boys is less funny than SE85 doing a 5 hour Ted Talk on the causes of depression amongst Premier League footballers.
