I didn't watch much TV back then, but I recall an episode of Black Books, a few episodes of The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers and many episodes of Blackadder as I just had to get in there and see what was making the kids laugh so hard. <br />Most of these were pretty good shows, but I didn't think much of The Office or Red Dwarf. Just not my thing I suppose.

While they appeal to some, I find them just vaguely amusing rather than laugh out loud funny.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-28514671039193113462014-05-23T05:43:39.541+01:002014-05-23T05:43:39.541+01:00I totally agree with this list, PM!

While I have heard of several of the others and they are available in the US, I never had any inclination to watch them (I have no patience for Rodent, um, I mean Rowan Atkinson).<br /><br />Being much older than you, my husband and I tend towards 'As Time Goes By' (and every series Judi Dench was in, and there many), 'Waiting for God' - oh so many that were shown on the PBS stations for the last 30 years, and now we have Netflix so we've been through just about everything available.
