What decent sitcoms are on at the moment.

They have just started the original series of The Office here.

Not many. Peep Show series 5 starts soon. I await it with baited breath.

Haven't had that yet.

Not BBC then?

Yay!

Nah, Channel 4. Once you get into it, it's honestly one of the most hilarious sitcoms I've watched. It's from the first person view, which adds to the character. Very 'British', if you like that sort of thing.

That's the problem, we only get BBC prime here.

Ah, shame. Can you get 4 On Demand? Where the f*ck is Lever when you need him? He'll be able to sort you out with a link or two, no doubt. The f*ckin pirate sh!t.

No, but apparently I could apply to be part of one.

The American version of The Office is also very good. And there's more of it.

Get hold of Arrested Development any which way you can.

Ditto Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Peep Show has already been mentioned. The Mighty Boosh has its moments.

And that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Third series was a bit limp - was a bit of crowd-pleaser, if you ask me.

First two series didn't care if you liked it or not. There'll not be many better - or weirdly sinister - sitcom episodes than The Nightmare of Milky Joe.

Alot of sitcoms can be found at:

surf the channel dot com!!

Curb Your Enthusiasm is complete genius. As is Mighty Boosh.

Gavin and Stacey has it's moments.

...Flight of the Conchords...

Keep meaning to catch that - it's on my to do list...

Your avatar is them, is it not, spangler? A couple of Kiwi drama students.....I guess it could be funny.....

Family Guy is pretty good.

Old Greg freaked me more. The howard and him duet tune is f'in awesome as well.

Not sure I agree about the 3rd series. It had my favourite episode in the Lookalikes/crimp-off, the Crack Fox was brilliant and when they fall in love is damn quality too. Reckon I haven't the analytical/critical brain you have.

Flight of the Conchords is the bizzle, as Snoop might say. Apparently they're suffering from second album syndrome at the moment. They spent years writing and touring with those original songs and now they've run out of ideas. Shame.

Hmmm, it was a bit "we know what our audience likes now, what characters they like, what catch-phrases they like - let's give them what they like". Played it too safe, says I.

Old Gregg is a classic episode, granted. And the third series wasn't without - as I said - its moments.
