Extremely well known, and one of the top series this season. It's one of Chuck Lorre's series which also include Two and a Half Men -- another extremely funny comedy.

Surprising no big TV station is broadcasting it here. Perhaps too expensive to get the rights.

Little Britain

BBC - Comedy - Little Britain

I hope the Brits don't flog me for that.

Speaking of British comedies, another HILARIOUS British tv comedy is The IT Crowd.

Yes. And, I've seen them in real life. Seriously. About an hour's drive north from where I live.

Yeah big bang theory is great, along with Entourage. Ont he list, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, is great, but I had to vote for weeds. That is an amazing show. Now, The latest season was definitely the worst one, but it was still good.

I came in here just to recommend this.

Insanely funny.

I would say "Coupling" a british show, very funny and it nails the couple dynamics in a much more straight forwards way then lets say "friends" ever did.

The IT crowd is good as well, however my favorite character was the guy who played Dunham ? the boss in the first two seasons...hilarious but he was not the main character.

 

[fraseyboy]

Oh, I dunno how well known this is over in the rest of the world but Flight of the Conchords is great too

There was also a british show that was on awhile ago. It was called 'Outnumbered' and it was also very funny. Not many episodes though and very unknown.

agreed, only equaled in cleverness by flight of the concords and the select 'the office' episode

Definitely. It's a shame that Real Time ended its season on HBO last Friday and we have to wait until February 2009 for new episodes. I love ending my week with Bill's political discussion and humor.

I still miss his ABC show, although HBO is better since there's no censorship.

I'm with you there. I look forward to his show every week. At least he'll be back with new shows in the depth of winter when a good laugh is always appreciated...
