Are You Being Served? and its sequel Grace & Favour
It Ain't Half Hot Mum - Might be hard to find because its considered "racist" today.  It does give have one of the greatest lines in TV history (IMHO), "Oh Dear.  How Sad.  Never mind."

I always liked The Young Ones, Monty Pythons Flying Circus, The Goodies and Fawlty Towers.

There was another one set in a cafe or bar during WW2 France. Everyone that came in was either an escaped POW, SS, Gestapo, or resistance fighters. None knew the identity of any of the others. It was always really funny. But for the life of me can’t remember the name of it.

It was shocking similar to black books there .

If you have Prime, Brit Box is like a $1.99 for a two month special.

I'd watched lots of the individual shows, but this winter we've gone through all of Black Adder, AbFab, Antiques Roadshow (much better than the US version) and now we're about 3/4s of the way through Red Dwarf. They're all funny (except the AR, of course), but much better watched in the proper sequence.

Rimmer disappeared last night, and now I know why.

Came here to post this. Peep show was good, but so cringy.

The adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, Numberwang, BMX Boy and Angel Summoner, & Helivets.

To me, they are the modern Month Python.

Ambassadors and Back were ok, but not as rofl as Mitchell and Webb.

A lot of these shows were made before I was born lol

Ok another suggestion. You like Simon pegg right? Well he made two comedy shows both very good. The sit com was genious but it’s not going to be for everybody

One was a sketch show big train.


Big Train - Work Place W@nking


The other was a sit com called Spaced

Spaced - Phantom Menace Sucked





Ok. Now let’s get real

Brass eye a fake news style black comedy show. That got stars to say the most stupid things ever and they did.  “Crabs have more in common with peadofiles than humans and that’s fact there is no evidence but that’s fact” yes a star said that with a straight face and believed it

They even got Phil Collins

This is a bit explaining the aftermath and showing some clips.

Lenny married a white comedienne.

Lot of backlash.

He joked "There was a lot of racial segregation talk after we married. They wanted to racially segregate my head from my body"
