I'm a great fan of shows like Bottom, Blackadder, Alan Partridge, Office.... however a show I find hillarious (but it is not actually intended to be comedy) is Renegade.
This is a high class bureau de change, not some Punch & Judy show on the seafront at Margate! |

I'm very much enjoying the new South Parks. Last week was a little lame (PETA) but it had some funny moments.
This week was fantastic! Especially the 'shit when they die' thing...hahahahahahahha

I think the reunion is actually just an interview with the cast... not a new episode. I think it might be airing on Thanksgiving Night.
Haven't caught much of the new SP episodes... but hopefully that will change soon :)

Okay a BBC serie I adore: Men Behaving Badly
absolute precious
I like a more recent BBC serie in that genre named Coupling
of course Blackadder, Bottom, Simspons, and some sitcoms like Newsradio and Friends too.
Ohh I like comedy

Delighted somebody mentioned The Young Ones.
I'd probably go for The Simpsons too though.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who likes "The Young Ones".
What about "Fraggle Rock"? I love puppets.

There was a great animated series in the '80s about this Los Angeles robot hard-boiled private detective...it was called 'dick spanner'. It's one of those programs that i haven't seen since i was a kid and wonder sometimes if it was as good as i remember it being.

Generally speaking, those programs are always quite disappointing when you watch 'em again- like Happy Days, that I used to love as a kid.
Never seen Dick Spanner so I can't comment on that... but I'd like to watch Family Ties again, with Michael J. Fox playing Alex P. Keaton: the way I remember it, it was excellent.

Not comedy, but does anyone know what happened to Streethawk? I would have thought that was due an ironically-likeable phase ages ago.
p.s. South Park dubbed into Spanish is great.

Moving from the clown to the jester will mean moving from similar to same, from alike to identical, from comparable to analogous. Though applied differently, the colours used on one can be used on another, and a couple of changes of costume will rapidly transform the jester into a clown and the clown into a jester. Strictly speaking, they almost duplicate each other as regards clothes and function, the only difference between them, from a social point of view, is that clowns do not usually visit the palaces of kings. |

Fawlty Towers deserves a mention.
And has anybody seen "The Lyrics Board" on RTE? So appallingly dreadful it's hilarious. (this question is really for all the Paddys on the forum) |

Heh. Aenghus. What a happy dickhead. He doesn't do it any more unfortunately, used to love it when he did. Linda Martin is the hostess now, and not nearly as laughable.
And the team captains have changed for younger, trendier people (no idea who they are though).
Ainsley Harriot was on it a while ago, giving it absolute socks. Was very funny. |

Haha. its certainly up there with other RTE 'classics' such as leave it to mrs o brien (i am showing my age), the cassidys (yikes) and the legend of irish comedy - upwardly mobile.
I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
