I need inspiration. We have been watching comedy box sets at the mo and I am wondering what else is worth watching? We have completed the Friends series and we are now working our way through Frasier and Cheers. Are there any other comedy shows worth getting that are along similar lines? Thanks in advance
If you're into American comedy (which, in general, I'm not), try to track down videos of the funniest ever American comedy series, 'Soap'. It's absolutely brilliant!
Otherwise, stick with British comedy. 'Only Fools and Horses' has already been suggested. Alongside that, I'd have to suggest the wonderful 'Fawlty Towers'.
I'd go with those two as well, especially the episode of Fawlty Towers with Basil, the rat - a classic (and hilarious!) The other one that cracks me up is the Only Fools, where Raquel is singing in the nightclub with the guy who can't pronounce his "r's".
Thanks for the tips. Its not a general preference for American comedies, as I love Blackadder, Only fools etc. Are there any good recent brit coms out apart from the obvious. I haven't lived in the UK now for a few years (moved to Spain) so I don't know whats about these days.
As has been said, you seem to like American comedies.
One show that is called the English "Friends" is Coupling.
About 3 men and 3 women, all 20-something, and their relationships.
I happen to think this is a very funny and well written comedy that bears watching over and over again.
They made 4 series but the first 3 are best. One character, Jeff, is one of the best comedy characters to appear for many years (but he was not in series 4)
