UK TV Comedy is still the best

Mighty Boosh - Surreal laugh a second Genius
Peepshow - Just... the best thing on TV, ever
League of Gentlemen - Classic
Nathan Barley - Finally something taking the piss out of these cunts!
Garth Marengies Darkplace - Again, genius
Absolute Power - Very clever, so funny
Black Books - Classic
Spaced - Defined my early teens
Brasseye - Chris Morris is simply a God
The Office - Why remake it without Brent???


Im sure I've missed loads out... especially the classics (day today, big train, father ted...), but I still think we're the funniest nation.

I tried Curb Your Enthusiasm recently because everyones been raving about it to me but... well, it was ok but no way lived up to the hype, appualingly acted but I won't give up on it yet.

Appart from Seinfeld and Frasier I cant think of any other 'credible' US comedies? Excluding cartoons.

Edit: Forgot teachers, class

HOW COULD I FORGET SCRUBS?

US is catching up...

monty python

hello!

Reno 911 is stupid as shit but i still love it

Bottom. Childish as hell, but still manages to raise a smile. The Christmas episode is an absolute classic.

(I did a Google image search for Bottom...this was the best I could come up with. Im sure you won't mind)

yeah i was going more for the new school but they kicked off alternative comedy so i guess they count

Series 1 only.

Did anyone watch the Fawlty Towers marathon on UKgold this weekend? it was class. the talking moose is my favourite bit.

malcome in the middle... still catching up

nah i actually really liked series 3

i liked all 3 series!

you are a filth wizard!

Arrested Development say wut?

ALAN PARTRIDGE!!!

UK coming back to the fore

Er...I Love Lucy, All in the Family, DIck van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, The Simpsons, MASH....

Now, who, exactly is "catching up?"

I love a lot of UK comedy, but in defense of US comedy:

Daily Show
Arrested Development
Chapelles Show
Mr. Show

uhhh... for non-animated stuff thats all I got. I think I just proved your point... damn it.

And really.... I Love Lucy??

Das Fruit Machine.

The point is: Y'all are the ones doing the catching up. TV is what America does.

Das Fruit Machine.

i'll give you the simpsons, dick van dyke is pants

he's only good in diagnosis murder
