    ..do you get any British comedy shows over there? We seem to get most of yours, and some of them are pretty funny (South Park, Scrubs & Flight of the Conchords to name a few) but I often wonder if you guys get any of our shows. Try a few of the following; I promise you won't be disappointed :D

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKBqd81ENXo"]Coupling[/ame] Coupling - Late 90s Sitcom, literally the funniest show I have ever watched in my life

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58GzbUsAW9I"]Green Wing[/ame] Green Wing - 2000s Hospital comedy, funnier than Scrubs (in my opinion)

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOe5n8M0ldw"]Peep Show[/ame] Peep Show - Ongoing cult comedy - I could only find a short clip on the web unfortunately; but it's one of the funniest shows out there

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qKxZO7tFfc"]Black Books[/ame] Black Books - Amazing 2000s comedy set in a bookshop, again I could only find a short clip, no full episodes

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz5Tq3PJ83U"]Fawlty Towers[/ame] Fawlty Towers - Generally considered the best British comedy of all time, not my personal favourite but still great thirty years on

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1oxtxB_mT0"]Blackadder[/ame] Blackadder - 80s historical comedy (this particular episode is set during WWI)

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCWA7uevo_Q"]Look Around You[/ame] Look Around You - 2000s tv show that parodies school education videos brilliantly

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EBfxjSFAxQ"]The IT Crowd[/ame] The IT Crowd - Modern cult comedy about a large company's IT department

    Enjoy! Let me know what you think, and recommend me some good US comedy that I might not have seen over here :)

    Well, we get BBC and BBC America that's got quite a wide variety of shows.

    I've watched Fawlty Towers and Ab Fab for years. I also like Little Britain and Graham Norton.

    There are a few other shows I've watched occasionally like Hex, Skins, Torchwood, and Wire in the Blood.

    Coupling is fucking hilarious, the catherine tate show, and Top Gear. I'll flip the TV over to BBC every now and then :)
