Noel Fielding can be quite funny.
I was watching a clip of Hendrix on the Lulu Show the other night and there's Noel in his Plastercasters Tee Shirt. I'm sure the shows producers had absolutely no idea of the meaning of this. Not exactly subject matter for a family show!

Inbetweeners and Peep show are some of my fav programs. Green Wing we bought the box sets for and have watched them twice. The Thick of It is very good as well. There was a new one that started recently called "Friday Night Dinner" that we thought could have some potential..
One program Mrs Jog has taken to which I absolutely cannot stand is 'Miranda' - I think they've reused the set from Black Books as their shop as well -
I like some of the cartoon stuff from the US - in particular American Dad and Cleveland. Can't be doing with Family Guy though. And of course South Park still never fails to deliver.

If you haven't seen it, it may be more to your taste than Spaced.
Anyone remember a bizarre comedy sketch show from the 90s that used to air really late on BBC2 called Comedy Nation? That was weird but very funny. They had a character with an oversized head who would always be trying to ingratiate himself to people in awkward social situations but he would always just get spat out by them. Quite painful viewing actually!

Originally posted by pacharan View PostI'll have a look. I do like some British stuff. Just turned off by childish references to bodily functions. I guess some of it is also down to taste too. Never got Reeves and Mortimer. Really like that Alexander Armstrong double act show though. And HIGNFY is and has been the best thing on TV for years.
My tastes would be summed up by the shows in my OP, Seinfeld, Woody Allen, Lemmon/Matthau and the big constant in my life the great Lucille Ball.
us office, curb your enthusiasm, arrested development are the only decent us comedies - used to like stuff like friends but once you notice the formula its gets less funny
the yanks do piss all over us when it comes to TV drama though

The problem with all American comedy is that is has to have a 'feelgood' ending, a moral if you like. Why can't it just end funny (personally I think most of its bollocks, you only have to watch Friends to work that one out.)

I really like the IT Crowd - probably the funniest sitcom on TV at present. Everything else is topical "what's my line" kinda ripoffs.
Where I get annoyed is that a series is only 6 episodes! Coming from Canada I'm used to having about 25.
