Favourite TV programmes, not sexual partners.

Superb.

The hairs stood on end all the way through that series. 


I'll add a few to the recent-ish funnies that haven't been mentioned.... Vicar of Dibley, Dinnerladies, Thin Blue Line and Gavin and Stacey.

None of them were funny.

Obviously not to you who likes the Yank interpretation of comedy.

Which usually means it's on a par with having your teeth pulled without anesthetic.

I forgot Peep Show.

What did you think of The Pacific?

I thought it was a bit of a let down if I'm honest.

I think you're in the minority if you think Dinnerladies is better than Frasier, Cheers, Curbs, Modern Family etc.

None of those mentioned can better 'The Phil Silvers show' (Bilko) or 'The Honeymooners', from the 50's.
Each to his own though. Seinfeld would be way up there too.

I haven't watched it because I haven't fancied it. I probably wouldn't like it either.

The British actors and the European theatre of war sold Band of Brothers to me and it didn't disappoint. Even the theme music (which was a British performance) was brilliant and hooked you.

My top 10 I think are:

Shameless
2 Pints of lager & a packet of crisps
Bottom
Fawlty Towers
24 Hours in A&E
Only fools and Horses
Mrs Brown's Boys
Phoenix nights 
Peep Show
The Hotel

Maybe so but I haven't heard of the last two.

Frasier and Cheers were crap to me, not that I've watched much of either of them.

Gold have started showing Cheers again.

I find American humour and their programs in General shit and unfunny.

Spike tv is starting soon on freeview and sky

Might start watching justification and sons of anarchy

Breaking bad is on it too. One episode every night until the end
