Are sketch shows allowed then as well as sitcoms?

In which case you could have The Fast Show, Harry Enfield and Chums, The Mary Whitehouse Experience (loved this one growing up), Saturday Night Live, Morecambe and Wise…

And if your including them, then I will throw in Agro’s Cartoon Connection.

And if you need convincing of it’s comedy genius, youtube it!

Yeah I am including it as a broad coverage of ‘Comedy Series’ unless its only confined to certain genres…I am actually not a huge fan of most of English Language TV (quite strange for me, is that I prefer English movies to Asian movies but prefer Asian TV to English Language TV) but WLIIA I watch every single episode…serious underrated talents

Some brutal ties in that.

How the hell to you choose between beating a mini with a twig or 4 candles?

Frasier against Jim Hacker, evil :frowning:

Couple of big hitters against each other there…!

It clearly comes down to Blackadder v Father Ted. An impossible choice tbh.
