Black Books, Black Adder, Are You Being Served?, The Office. Old shows but great ones! British humor is good.

Black Adder III rules. I lurve The Office, and if you're going through withdrawal from that, there's Extras!

The way you feel about The Vicar of Dibley, Mr. Tinkles, I feel about Mapp & Lucia.

Have you guys seen Peep Show? Little Britain? I'm Alan Partridge? I recently watched all of Spaced in one weekend (speaking of pathetically addicted).

Oooh. And I'm not saying you're a religious fanatic, Mr. Tinkles, but if you "get" the humor of The Vicar of Dibley, you might also like Father Ted. I hasten to add, it is Irish, lest somebody get huffy about it being lumped in with all those English people.

Extras is great!!! I tried to like Little Britain and Father Ted but couldn't. Peep Show looks good and I put that in my Queue. Eddie Izzard is the top comic in my opinion. Lets watch him:

There is no other tri-lingual executive transvestite who makes me shriek with laughter the way he does.

Ive seen Eddie in a few movies, and thought he was really good.

Theres a movie he did with "Joey" from Friends, where they were in WWI, and had to dress up as women to go over the "enemy lines". I think its called All the Queens Men.
It was an excellent movie.

Oh, I do like Father Ted! And My Hero too. I havent seen Spaced, but I keep hearing good things about it. I will have to check it out.

Ive seen Little Britain, and sorry to say, I didnt even find a giggle in it.

Have seen Extras at the Library, so I may check that out too.

Will have to check out Mapp and Lucia then too.

I love a lot of BritComs, but V of D has been the utlimate of BBC comedy perfection. I would say that AbFab is second, then Are You Being Served/Again, Waiting For God, Good Neighbors, and Next of Kin.

Ooo, cant wait to see some of these others everybody has mentioned!!!!

Oh, speaking of Geraldine.......Mulberry is an awesome show too.
