scrubs
south park
futurama

everybody loves raymond

These are just what i watch of late, not all time favourite. I’ve really gotten back into south park in a big way, after not watching it for several years. And Dr Cox off of Scrubs is THE funniest character ever.

because its puerile and childish! Mind, having thought about it its not really is it? They do tend to tackle issues head on: eg the Walmart episode, the Michael Jackson episode, the immigrants from the future…oh its so ace.

Is Southpark worth watching then? - I loved the first 3 series then the movie came out and I hated it.

No it’s not puerile, it’s a fascinating social commentary or something. And very funny :D

Why would you think I wasn’t childish? Please tell me you don’t think there is anything mature about GM!! :p

3) The League Of Gentlemen (series 1)

The shit film they made tainted this for me… I saw a live show on play.com in the sale so I ordered it… it arrived the other day and its a fucking pantomime… It sounds shit, i haven’t brought myself to watch it yet.

Their series got progressively shitter and the Xmas Special was awful, so I suspected the film would be fucking terrible. I do rate the first series though.

I was close to putting Newman & Baddiel In Pieces, even if only for History Today. But the reason they didn’t make it was that I am really aflicted with a sarcastic tone of voice. :(

It was a very hard thing to decide on.. Newman and Baddiel and Mary whitehouse (2nd series) almost made the list also Monty Python as well.. i know it can seem overrated but It was one of the first comedy things i remember watching as a child along with the two ronnies..and i still think is brilliant.
