Has anyone ever watched PopeTown? That weird cartoon with the voices of Ruby Wax, Bob Mortimer, Matt Lucas and Kevin Eldon? LOL it's pretty messed up but it's funny as well ;)

This is my list, I'm sure I've missed some, but anyway. (Also, I have enjoyed Fawlty Towers and The Office in the past, but at the moment I'm suffering from repeat-itis and need to have a long rest from both before I can enjoy them again.)

I love reading everyone's lists - it gives me clues as to which comedies I haven't seen that I need to pursue!


UK
The Fast Show
Little Britain
Harry Enfield and Chums
Randall and Hopkirk Deceased (Vic and Bob version)
Spaced
Black Books
Red Dwarf
The Goodies
Monty Python
'Allo 'Allo
Ripping Yarns
Ab Fab
A Bit of Fry and Laurie
The Two Ronnies
Dave Allen
Father Ted
Goodnight, Sweetheart


US/Canadian
Frasier
SNL (acknowledging the hit or miss nature of the beast)
Roseanne
KITH
The Simpsons
The Critic
Get Smart

Australian
The Big Gig
DAAS Kapital
Lano and Woodley
Kath and Kim
Big Girl's Blouse
The Late Show
The Aunty Jack Show
Spicks and Specks (hmm, game show really, but it's one of the comedy highlights of my week.)
