    Nah I haven't seen it to be honest. I've heard it's great but with a dissappionting ending... Worth watching like?

    I've just finished all of Sunny, the Chardee Macdennis episode was hilarious, it gets better every season! Haha! I'm glad I made this thread it's given me a few GREAT shows which I now absolutely love.

    Top of the tree being Parks and Recreation and Sunny! Couldn't live without them now! haha!

    Anyone got any other shows or comedies on a par with these I (or anyone else) might not have seen! haha!

    The ending is superb IMO, dont want to say much about it incase you watch it. I'd definitely recommend watching the series, I got the entire boxset at Christmas and was done by march, that's 86 episodes. One of the best tv shows of all time.

    Thanks you so much for recommending Parks & Recreation it was absolute quality. Also thanks on behalf of all my mates who think I uncovered it! Series 5 has been commissioned too!

    Ron Swanson. YouTube this guy he is my new hero.

    Other comedies I love are....

    Flight Of The Conchords
    Peep Show
    The Office (UK & US Versions)
    Trailer Park Boys
    Nathan Barley
    Eastbound & Down

    Hopefully someone can get some laughs out of these although most will surely have been mentioned. Thanks again lads!

    But Ron Swanson is absolute comedy genius, such a great character!

    I know this has been said but I'm just going to repost it incase anyone didn't notice.

    Arrested Development is absolutely top class.

    I've only watched the first two episodes of Boardwalk Empire but it's class so far.

    It's fine, you watch the three seasons, then you go back and watch them again, and then you go back and watch them again. There are so many jokes you miss the first time round, particularly early in the first season, because you don't know the characters as well at that point. So many in-jokes, pop culture references, even foreshadowing of future plot lines. It really is unparalleled.

    The network cancelled it but they're finally making a new series to be released next year, so it's not quite finished yet.

    Nah, stick with it. A total travesty there hasn't been more so far, but even the short 3rd season is top class.

    I believe the renewal is going to be an online thing, so I am slightly skeptical as to whether it will live up to the original, but I will look forward to it regardless...

    Recently started watching one foot in the grave and i cant believe i didnt watch it earlier. So funny, literally a million times funnier than the british sitcoms of today like outnumbered. Also would recommend bottom, so underrated.

    Love it! A great show, definitely watch this guys!

    I'm watching Angry Boys and Summer Heights High just now, not amazing or that but an enjoyable watch. Particularly the latter.

    I'm Alan Partidge is one of the greatest british comedies ever, Every single thing Alan says instantly becomes a quotable line, "Jurassic Park!". Bottom is funny as * too.
