British Comedy Guide

Which comedy shows don't you like, and why? Page 5

HIGNFY, Mock The Week, Miranda, Ab Fab, Blackadder, My Family.

Could I go on? Yes, but I won't, I'm too busy.

This is going to be impossible to say without sounding like I'm taking the piss, but what comedies do you like Gavin? I should know after all this time but I can't remember.

uhhh. Currently running ones:

Big Bang is good.
Lead Balloon is alright.
Family guy not so much any more
Curb not so much any more

Even your favourites have something negative. :D

Didn't say they were my favourites that's what I watch.

Ah yes, me like Big Bang and Lead Balloon too.
Isn't there one you love? Or are you just not in an enthusiastic mood today. :)

The Royle Family. I found the whole thing incredibly dull, mawkish and devoid of humour.

The Mighty Boosh has a couple of amusing moments, but on the whole it seems to be trying too hard.

Well, out of things on at the moment. They're the best of the bunch, presumably?

No. Not that I can think of. Nothing that I think oooo got to remember that's on. Used to be family guy about 3 years back but not really that bothered with it since the writers decided not to bother trying anymore.

They are what I can get to the end of the episodes, without turning it off. LOL! except Family guy for the last 3 weeks which I've turned off after 10 mins.

I'm looking forward to Misfits tonight, but at the moment I don't think there's anything I'm really anticipating lately.

Even though it's probably a case of nostalgia, I do miss the Friday night comedy line-ups on BBC 2 and Channel 4. We were spoiled for choice!

Is that the UK Heroes?

I hated Family Guy and only started watching it, and catching up in the last two years or so. Which was great, because I got to see all the best bits at once and didn't have to wait between seasons. But now, I gotta say I'm not that enthusiastic about it anymore. Oh, well. What's next: The Cleveland Show?! Errr

Well he's got commissioned for another series of Cleveland, and Family guy. So they'll be on TV for a lonnnnng time.

What's Lead Balloons? Should I be watching this? I'm guessing its UK right?
P.S. Big Bang is awesome. I'm also liking; Modern Family, Cogartown and 30 Rock these days.

Lead Balloon is British Curb, with comedian Jack Dee instead of Larry David. Quite good.
