I love this show!

Edmund Blackadder, Esq: If you want something done properly, kill Baldrick before you start.

George, Prince of Wales, Prince Regent: I must say it's rather strange, Blackadder. Why would an anarchist possibly want to kill you?
Edmund Blackadder, Esq: I think it's you he was trying to kill, sir.
George, Prince of Wales, Prince Regent: Oh hogwash. How could you possibly think that?
Edmund Blackadder, Esq: Well my suspicions were first aroused by his use of the words "death to the stupid prince."

Edmund Blackadder, Esq: Disease and deprivation stalk our land like... two giant stalking things.

Blackadder is informed that a German spy is stealing battle plans]
General Melchett: You look surprised, Blackadder.
Edmund Blackadder: I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any battle plans.
General Melchett: Well, of course we have! How else do you think the battles are directed?
Edmund Blackadder: Our battles are directed, sir?
General Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan.
Edmund Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
General Melchett: Great Scott! Even you know it!

George: Oh, sir, if we should happen to tread on a mine, what do we do?
Captain Edmund Blackadder: Well, normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump up 250 feet into the air and scatter yourself over a wide area.

[Flasheart, a pilot, about planes.]
Flasheart: Always treat your kite like you treat your woman: get inside her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back.
Blackadder: I can see why the suffragette movement are wanting the vote.
Flasheart: Hey, hey! Any girl who wants to chain herself to my railings and suffer a jet movement gets my vote!
 
I haven't watched in several years, but I love it. The codpiece always gets me going.
 
I like the third series the best. The ww1 series is a little two much sometimes, especially when you are just wanting to laugh.

I think I'd have to say I pick the one with funky air-head queen.
 
Lord Melchett: Gray, I suspect, your Majesty.
Queen Elizabeth I: I think you'll find they were orange, Lord Melchett.
Lord Melchett: Gray is more usual, Ma'am.
Queen Elizabeth I: Who's Queen?
Lord Melchett: As you say, Majesty. There were these magnificent orange elephants...

Queenie is great, I agree.

I catch him on BBC America, cable. Channel 170 here. I wish like hell I could get a future listing of there shows, seems like I have to catch things as I can. Monty Python, Faulty Towers, Mister Black Adder, that gang... Fantastic...

S Baldrick: I'm glad to say you won't be needing that pill, Mr. B.
Edmund Blackadder, Esq: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words "I have a cunning plan" marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
S Baldrick: They certainly are!
Edmund Blackadder, Esq: Well, forgive me if I don't do a cartwheel of joy; your record in this department is hardly 100%. So what is it?
S Baldrick: We do nothing...
Edmund Blackadder, Esq: Yup, it's another world-beater.
S Baldrick: No, wait. We do nothing... until our heads have actually been cut off.
Edmund Blackadder, Esq: And then we... spring into action?
 
I love it all

And thanks, reading that out loud to my flat mate made him choke!

:D
 
I love that show!!

Rowan Atkansian is like a genius if I could only spell his last name I would be on a roll :).
 
"The Thin Blue Line" was marginally better.

British comedy is great and Benny Hill lives in Kalamazoo. Or is it Battle Creek?
 
General Melchett: Are you looking forward to the big push?
Private Baldrick: No sir, I'm absolutely terrified.
General Melchett: The healthy humor of the honest, Tommy. Don't worry my boy, if you should falter, remember that Captain Darling and I are behind you.
Edmund Blackadder: About thirty-five miles behind you

what about red dwarf? anyone here like that?

Red Dwarf is brilliant *s* Knew a guy who looked like Cat and acted like him...when I used to live in London. He wasn't impressed when this girlie thought that he was Cat...I don't know why...he could have been in there if he had just lied and said YES. hehehe

Thin Blue Line...was good *s*

Anyone for "Bottom"?
 
I am saving my pennies (and nickels and dimes, et al) to get the complete "Black Adder" on DVD. Only $100 at my local Borders.
 
Border's is the Devil store.. I spend too much money there.. that and Best buy.. evil wallet sucking stores... yet Im so easily tempted.

Can you believe that the guy who played Lord Flasheart is also the guy who played Rik on "The Young Ones?"

"Am I glad to see you, or is that a CANOE is my pants!! Woof woof!"

For the Brits out there, when does the Red Dwarf movie come out? I heard it's chock full of big cameos, it should be coming in the near future.
