Quote: Jackson Neil @ February 25 2009, 3:10 PM GMTWhat's your fave R&M show mate? I think 'The Smell Of...' was their finest, but I love 'Shooting Stars' and 'Big Night Out' too. It's all great.
Probably Big Night Out. Though actually, overall, Catterick, which obviously isn't a sketch show.
I love Catterick. Needs repeating, goddammit!

That's one I loved when I was a kid, but I'm not so sure I would still feel so strongly about if viewed now.
Not feel so strongly about it- I say Oi, Stott, NO!!!!
Ooh-Newman And Baddiel, I absolutely loved them when they were together! History Today!
Not including online content this would be my list....
!. Monty Python
2. Kids in the Hall
3. Saturday Night Live
4. Second City TV (SCTV)
5. Not The 9 O'clock News
6. Canadian Air Farce (1973 to 2008 run! Come on! That's amazing for a weekly political sketch show!)
7. Chappelle's Show
8. Mr. Show
9. Big Train
10.At Last the 1948 Show
I have yet to see 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie'. I hope to see some soon.
If it hasn't been done already, Spitting Image deserves a mention.

Definitely get round to at some point. I like series 2&3 best. Hugh Laurie is ace!
Jeeves and Wooster is worth checking out too.
Actually I might put early Catherine Tate and Little Britain on the list, before it became horribly repetitive.
This sketch from Catherine Tate is brilliant:
