Here is a list of my current favsBlack BooksThe OfficeSpacedBig TrainThe Fast ShowNot the nine oclock newsPythonFaulty TowersRed DwarfThe mighty BooshBrass EyeOnly fools and horsesmy familyanything French and SaundersRipping YarnsBeanSketch Showthere's heaps more......

The Mighty Boosh is fabulous. I would forward Brass Eye and The Day Today for making irony an art form.

Black Books!! that rocks!! can't believe I forgot such a qualty show!! so funny

Black Books was just incredibly funny, especially Bill Bailey, the man knows funny.

Question, Wasabi Peas, was "Not the 9 'o Clock News" done by Rowan Atkinson, or is it just me?

Yes, Rowan Atkinson was on that show for a while.

yuhuh!!

Sorry, guys, my Compy's been down for some time, had to go to the library to post this. MY MOM GOT THE ENTIRE SERIES OF MONTY PYTHON ON DVD!!!! ALONG WITH THEIR AUTOBIOGRAPHY!! The Pythons: An Autobiography by The Pythons!!!!! Best time of my life......

i was told by like the 7th or 8th person i should see Mr. Bean. i guess i got to rent it cuz every one is saying watch it. i haven't heard of anything else. other than the cooking show that cusses. that would be funny.U put the Fking chicken in the Fking stove and bloody hell F**ing cook it for about an.........LOL yeah that would be a funny show. that's how diver dude cooks he cusses out all his food. LMAO!!

You should see Mr Bean, CR. :smile:

we talking about the series or the movie?

there is a series? is it the same guy (the one that feel asleep alot in rat race lol)

They occasionally show it on PBS, but I got the whole series on DVD (3 discs) on A&E video for $30\. It's definitely worth it.

The movie kind of sucked. It was too serious and repeated a lot of the same skits that were in the series. See the series for sure.

definately the office.

Cool, I own the series too DesertFoxAZ! Yeah, the movie was TERRIBLE! It was wayyyyyy too Americanized, in a sense, besides, the Turkey skit wasn't as funny as it was in the series.

Matt Leblanc did the same skit on Friends a while back for their Thanksgiving episode and it was funny until I realized it wasn't original.Did you see Johnny English?

I love the Mr. Bean series...and my girl got me watching keeping up apearances. also like python.

Has anyone watched The Young Ones? There weren't that many episodes made, but it's about 4 room-mates
-a punk
-a femmy, anarchist, protester type
-a "lady's man"
-a hippie

Alexi Sayle also makes an appearance on the show as their crazy landlord. He's a good comedian too. You can actually rent a few of the episodes at most video stores.

Oh yeah, also wondering if anyone knows the comedian Ali G?

Hey, out of curiosity, what was your favorite Monty Python skit? I enjoyed the Dead Parrot one, as well as the Cheese Shop, and also the Hell's Grannies!
