[RisiaSkye]

Not pissed, just out of touch with the ins and outs of British TV. I don't watch that much American TV either, it's just more familiar ground.

I'ze only playin'. Be nice, it's my birthday.

Happy Birthday RS

But I agree with OUTSIDER the British comedy is sooooooo much better than the American comedy (sooooorrrry).

 

[OUTSIDER]

By the way Nicole.....

I think his name is Chris Barry and he used to do the voices on spitting image I think

"I did not have sex with that woman.... Miss Lewinsky."

B. Clinton

the whole Clinton thing was a great comedy, gotta say I laughed my ass off, how could anyone argue that a BJ was not sex, LOL.

Ok, y'all, here we go...

Married with Children - when Al threw dog poop out the door and yelled "I hit a power-walker, Peg!" I thought I would wet my pants

The Carol Burnett Show - watching the rest of the cast try desperately not to laugh at Tim Conway

The Dick Van Dyke Show & Coach - the Van Dyke brothers, what can I say?

Fawlty Towers - "Basil!"

Are You Being Served? - the early ones

I know there are some I'm forgetting, but these are a few of my favourite things....

 

[OUTSIDER]

Dick Van Dyke....

did the worst English accent of all time (in mary poppins) and is imfamous in the UK for it.

OH OH....

just remembered another good show "Big Train".

"Of coarse you do realise I'm an evil hypnotist" LMAO.

 

[Svedish_Chef]

No OUTSIDER sorry we don't. Oh and you know how you were telling me about the Fast Show??? We don't get that either

I will agree with you on Red Dwarf, that show ROCKS.

Nikki it was on SBS... and after it was Newsroom a Canadian satire show like frontline which was also really good

 

[OUTSIDER]

And what about.....

some mother's do have them, that was a great show

 

[*Eve*]

I miss What's Happening. Rerun was my hero.

F-Troop

I'm so glad so many have mentioned "Barney Miller". What a fabulously written and acted show, which just got better and better.

Bobtoad, seriously, WTF is "Saved By the Bell" doing on that otherwise very nice list? I can't think of a more badly written, vapidly conceived and inepted acted television program in history. (Then again, I liked "My Mother the Car", so go figure...)

My list would inlude the usual: "All in The Family", "Mary Tyler Moore", "Taxi", etc.

But also the best sit-som of all time "Fawlty Towers" (more farce than situation-comedy, really).

And "F-Troop". I swear to God people underestimate "F-Troop". It was essentially a vaudeville show set in the wild west with jokes like how the the Hekowie Indians got their name: "Our tribe was looking for a home, and when we got here someone said 'Where the heck are we?'" (Say it out loud). There were the scouts named Lewis and Clark who were always lost. The look-out Vanderbilt -- who was blind. Ken Berry's elegant clumbsiness (very underrated physical comedy). The great, great, great Forrest Tucker as the show's only true soldier Sgt. O'Rourke, who also happened to be a profiteer. Even Larry Storch was funny ("Who says I'm dumb?"), and any show that can do that gets my vote. Plus, they made Don Rickles into an American Indian and Paul Lynde into a ladies man. Tell me that's not funny.

Because I'm somewhat fuckered up, I can't recall his name right now, but I used to go to church with the Bugler (the dad in TeenWolf), a very nice and gracious Individual...

Easiest million dollar job...Being Bob Saget...Not funny, but who cares when you have a brain dead audience that laughs when the laugh track does?

 

[R Nitelight]

Bugler Hannibal Dobbs -- James Hampton

 

[Siren]

WTF IS WITH ALL THIS BRIT WANKER COMEDY STUFF???

 

[insideShiraz]

Thanks...

Everyone called him Jim. I was totally awestruck. A super guy! I also went to church with Pat Boone and all of his daughters...I had a major crush on Cherry and her ass length hair...Pat and his tan and his white shoes...His name alone built that church into an Empire...

 

[OUTSIDER]

oooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo

handbag's at twenty paces!!!!!

 

[LARGEMAN]

OK OK I'll tell ya how old I am, the greatest sit-com of all times for me was the "Amos & Andy show", I love em.

 

[Stormystarr]

Barney

Is he psycotic or what? The one from Andy Griffith. I watched it late last night, and he shakes constantly, and those eyeballs pop out of thier sockets...scarry...I'd hate to meet him in a dark alley
