"Give me Red Dwarf, Blackadder, The Fast Show or Father Ted any day"
Add Fawlty Towers to that list and ya got a deal!

" 'Malcolm in the Middle'"
First season was pretty good... but it needed to stop then... now it's just garbage....

sorry, but I can't stand Little Britain. I've tried watching it once or twice, and I can't understand the "humour". Give me Red Dwarf, Blackadder, The Fast Show or Father Ted any day (and of American ones, The Simpsons and Futurama).

A few bits are funny (Vicky Pollard, the aide who's in love with the Prime Minister etc.) but it's all a bit repetitive and rather cruel.
At the moment there are actually some American shows that I find funnier than many British ones: 'The Simpsons' (of course) and 'Malcolm in the Middle' - anyone watch that?

It doesn't matter how hard you try to cram your eyes full of shit, there will always be a teensy weensy spot where Vicky Pollards tracksuit shows through. That's the beauty of the show.

The only posible reason for this horible, unfunny programme to be watched, or even exist, is to try and make the particular class of unpleasent people it caracatures seem slightly less objectionable.

Just like the varioius classes of 'music' that consist of swearing and a beat, or the stranger religious cults, if people wish to indulge, then they can, but please do not inflict it upon others!

I watched it for the first time last night (has it moved to an earlier time?) and enjoyed it, but I agree shooting stars is much better and it's not in the same league of gentlemen.
I'm a reformed lapsed radio 4 listener and to my mind I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, is just about as good as it gets.
Sven's new musical career is successful, and Samantha is hoping his seven-inch will get to the number 2 slot.

Quite good, better than most of US 'comedy', but not as good as 'My life in film' or 'Mighty Boosh'. (in my opinion, of course)

no my wife is watching the celebrities in the jungle. I'm sitting here trying to understand some pissed off americans going on about bush.

they're an odd race.

theres one lot that say he's a stinker, ah jaysus......we hate him! They keep coming up with odd facts about the guy a bit like that bowling for columbine geezer. If they're right, even his bloody dog would hate him.

Another guy has started a thread. I voted for him. why don't you like me. Everybody's written , cos you voted for him, you bastard , or words to that effect.

who needs comedy shows when you've got the americans to listen to....

I don't like it much - except for a few bits which are brilliant.
Some of it (the good bits) are a bit like a cross between Monty Python and The League of Gentlemen. (only they damp each other down - one being silly-funny and one being scary-funny. if you understand me...)

But overall.............. nah.

It has some real gems in it, but not enough to put it in my "category A" programmes.

And it's not just me being an old fogey (which I am). My own 19-yr old daughter and her boyfriend think the same. They'd still rather watch Blackadder, or Open All Hours, or Only Fools And Horses, or Absolutely Fabulous, or Friends, or Rising Damp, or The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin for the 50th time on video.

God bless the VCR.

And guess what - I am taking my Morecombe & Wise tapes to Oz next week. It may be unseasonably hot, but we're going to have a proper Christmas! And no Cliff Richard holding his face up with braces on the London Palladium for the dubious entertainment of a 60-year old Prince and the masses. Deary me, no - it's M&W for us and the Basil Brush Christmas Special.

OK, I lied about Basil Brush.
