I don't class Little Britain as a sitcom, it's more like a sketch show.

Fair enough.

The Sketch show part is the more appropriate description for it.

Thanks for the list. Interesting.

People Just Do Nothing would probably be in my top 10. If you've not seen it, give it a look.

I watched the first episode. It didn't do much for me. I have seen the odd clip. I may force myself to get through the first series sometime and if I take to it I'll watch the rest. It's the same with Fleabag. I watched the first episode and couldn't take to it but I know I'm gonna have to force myself to get through it sometime.

Mystic Mock 22-05-2022 07:57 PM

It was a fun list.

And definitely some Shows to potentially checkout.:laugh:

Fleabag is a bit of an odd one. Obviously it is a comedy but it’s not really ENTIRELY a comedy… hard to call it a sitcom IMO. I’d say the same about something like After Life.

Agreed ..

Can’t stand Afterlife at all incidentally

I used to love Blackadder and would have rated it 1 or 2 best comedy

Until ...

I watched ... or tried to watch one of the Blackadder episodes yesterday .. the one where they threw away the first Dictionary ..

I just found it soooo tedious


It may be me getting older ?

I rarely watch comedy series these days and even then I would chose an American one over a British series everytime
