What TV comedy do you like?

@cyberknight

Penny = ‘girl next door’
Bernadette = cute, but scary!
Was it in ‘Midsummer Nights Dream’, that Shakespeare wrote
“For she be small, she is fierce” (from memory)
Amy = my favourite

I even risked quoting the line from "the Dream" in my wedding speech andMrs PP subsequently got it as a fridge magnet

I got the jist of it, if not the correct wording

We had a HCA who was about 4'10" (about Bernadette sized), she was known as the Chihauhau'
She looked harmless, but cross her & she was like a Honey-Badger, & an awesome 'Paddington stare'!!

One of my favourite lines (this one from one of Lear's rants ) "I will do such things. What they are, yet I know not but they shall be the terrors of the Earth"

Another one I forgot. This Country. Incredibly well written and very true to life especially if you live in the west country

 

[cyberknight]

Anyone mentioned the party political broadcasts and debates ?

 

[AndyRM]

A few I've seen mentioned which I like, here's a few I like but haven't seen mentioned:

Darkplace
The Mighty Boosh
Look Around You
Nathan Barley
Hunderby
Black Books
Trailer Park Boys
Dag
Murder in Successville
Lady Dynamite

The Carlton Kirby Show

 

[matticus]

The Simpsons
(because it's only had 1 mention so far, and is much overlooked in the UK. IMO!
I watched 10 minutes between sports yesterday afternoon - 20year old episode about Homer trying to get hyperobesity disability benefit. Just genius.)

I could mention a number of niche, innovative programs that would go over most of your heads ... but I'll stick to the Simpsons for now :-)

 

[AndyRM]

Oh yeah, some others:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Schitt's Creek
The Good Place

We've been watching Netflix "Motherland" this morning - very funny (IOHO)

Isn't that a BBC show?!? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6006350/

 

[matticus]

Oh, Motherland has reminded me of
Catastrophe
(Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, writers/stars, both lovely and brilliant)
That and
Fleabag

... must be the best of the "recent" crop of modern stuff.

The Hale and Pace Alan Whicker character. Brilliantly acted. It's the dribble that does it for me.

Catastrophe was indeed brilliant.

We reccommended it to friends and they didn't find it at all amusing or interesting.

After Mulcahy has spent all night talking to the Swayze character
Well worth watching

The Young Ones
The IT Crowd
Dear John
Only When I Laugh
Hyperdrive

I haven’t seen that in ages. I went to school with the actor who played Captain Helix in the show within a show sections. He was a friend of the writers and they created the part specially so he could fulfil a childhood ambition to go into space and save the universe.
