    Rising Damp

    Curb Your Enthusiasm + Seinfeld

    Fawlty Towers

    Help (a new program broadcasting on BBC2/Sunday - worth a look)

    ... not a massive fan of "Little Britain", personally I think it is over rated and lacks subtlety.

    The problem for many comedy shows, especially in the UK, are the script writers. They appear to desire bad language and gross sexual material in an attempt to 'shock' the audience into submission. The current batch of comedies show cased on BBC3, mostly display this tendency. When compared to the genius of Fawlty Towers, they lack charm.

    Daily Show, Arrested Development, The Office (the original, not the crappy US version), Reno 911, Strangers With Candy, King of the Hill, and you know...Cheers and Martin can still make me laugh.

    I think Rowan Atkins is funny, almost every show he does.

    "This hour has 22 minutes" is also hilarious! Mind you it's gone downhill since the originals left. Rick Mercer's Monday report isn't nearly as funny, but he's trying.
