    On the same note, last two I 've seen that I loved were Peep Show and Curb, anything since then in a similar vein and of a similar quality that I missed out on?

    Have you seen 2012, the show about the Olympics planning?

    Its very funny.

    Becker- Its not amazing but defo enjoyable


    Modern famly - Probably best sitcom on tv at the moment (or at least one that is at its peek)


    couger town - if you like scrubs, this is similar but not as great.

    It crowd - insanely funny, not much story line or anything, but who needs it when its this much lol

    Seen becker enjoyed it
    Have tried Modern family and IT crowd didn't really like them
    Cougar town watched series 1 tried to watch it again recently had grown stale for me

    I like the look of undeclared looks like it was axed after a year but will give it a go.

    Watched 1st episode of Happy ending Ok so far hopefully will grow on me - Elisha cuthbert bugged me for a while then realised she was jack Bauers annoying daughter in 24 - hopefully her acting has improved.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Cuthbert in HE. She has excellent comic timing.

    Haven't seen any Alan Partridge based programmes mentioned yet. I'm Alan Partridge, Mid Morning Matters, The Places Of My Life I vaguely remember watching some of Steve Coogans stuff years ago but I think I was too young to appreciate it at the time. Catching up with it now and absolutely loving it! Also downloaded the audio of his book for free which is equally classic!

    I too recommend Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Early Doors, The Thick Of It, 30 Rock and Arrested Developement. Also, Brass Eye and anything else with Chris Morris' involvement is fantastic

    Have seen the Alan partridge stuff which is very good, Seinfeld very good, not a fan of Curb. Seen Arrested Developement and brass eye both excellent.
    Will look at 30 rock sometime.

    Watched first episode of Undeclared last night looks good was interesting to a very Young Jacks Teller (sons of anarchy) with his English accent and very young Seth Rogan.

    Hot in Cleaveland is a laugh :D and jane leeves from Fraiser is in it too.
    I'd also recommend Futurama and Friends

    I've started watching the Comedy Central show Workaholics recently, and I think it's so funny. I'd recommend it.

    Two British comedies that I'd recommend are The Inbetweeners and Gavin & Stacey. Both are very easy to get into and immensely enjoyable.

    Gavin and Stacey... well worth a watch!


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Another vote for Workaholics. I'm not reading back the thread but assume Archer has been mentioned and watched.
