That's not sad, that's highly admirable! I always wanted to start my own comedy site, but I just feared I wouldn't be able to maintain it because I loved so many comedies... :o I don't suppose you own the Radio Times Guide to Comedy at all? ;) (It's officially my Bible :D)

Um....:o

My boyfriend is a comedian so our house is stacked full of stuff like that, including his many random comedy biographies and such.
It's sad really! We get so analytical about comedy, we can't watch it without suggesting something!

Oh to be pure again...;)

It's hard to pick a top three, it depends on what I've just watched really. I love The Office, Blackadder, Men Behaving Badly, Bottom, Alan Partridge and The Fast Show a lot though. :D

Yaara (lori)
24-07-2003, 00:21
we don't get most of the comedies here...so, top KNOWN 3 are:

Monty Python's Flying Circus (& all the movies too)
Fawlty Towers
&...That 70's Show (what can I do? I'm a retro-maniac)

Amanda Graceywire
24-07-2003, 00:23
There's nothing for it Yaara, you'll just have to come over to England again and spend a week with us lot, by the end of it you're bound to know every comedy worth knowing ;)

yeah, just give me a few months to earn my 3000 NIS (400 pounds) (I' know, it sounds less) & then I might have a few days (like...3) to spend with you

Now, I need a review for both of them, because I didn't get the red dwarf (I only cought the end of it...why are they dressed like that???especially "cat"...) & what's the deal with the cupboard on the downstaires floor on the young ones??? there's this male dwarf called Shirley inside the cupboard!!!!!!

Have a look at this Yaara - http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/2031/rddescription.html

A little description is not going to do the series justice but it will give you some idea of what it's about.

ok, now I get it (ecp the "cat" thing...ewwwwww)
but what about the young ones? is it any good?

Tim
03-08-2003, 18:21
The Young Ones seems a bit dated to me but I've never been a big fan of it anyway, it's still a favourite with many though.

Fave at the moment is Black Books (thanks for putting it on, Sheila!)

I also love Fawlty Towers and Monthy Python. Would have included some very funny Norwegian ones, but that wouldn't mean much to you would it? ;)

03-08-2003, 22:20
Oh yes, Black Books is excellent. It's so hard to choose isn't it?

I like Two Pints of Lager and Black Books of the current crop of comedies. If we're sticking with British comedies, then perhaps Dinnerladies would be my third choice.
