"Are You Being Served?" is pretty good


Wish it wasn't on PBS every weekend since the beginning of time, but it's pretty good. Red Dwarf is alright, I remember it being a lot funnier when I was younger. Then there are some weird ones, like Open All Hours, cause I'm not really down with watching an old man try to get rear end for 30 minutes.

Anywho, what kinda crap do you watch Sunday nights?

You should also really watch The Day To Day and Brass Eye especially the pedophile special.

not strictly sitcoms but part of the british tv canon.

I'm addicted to British panel shows. Quite Interesting and Would I Lie To You are my favorites (and pretty much every episode of both are on youtube) but 8 Out of 10 Cats and Have I Got More News For You are also entertaining and a good way to learn about British culture and sound smart in front of your friends.

blackadder is loving incredible but season one is utter garbage don't watch it ever.

Blackadder stars Rowan Atkinson, it also has Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurrie, Tony Robinson, Rik Mayall.

Each season is set in a different time period and season 4 is set in the trecnches in the first world war and is one of the best seasons of TV ever.

I prefer to think of it as one star falling to help ensure another rises. She's only on the show for like a 6-episode season and one or two guest appearances after anyway.

Point being the shown is :goonsay: in video form and it is puzzling how few of you seem to be behind that.
