I'll still hold to Simpsons Seasons 3-1/2 to the season premiere of 9. Stop there and your memories won't be ruined like mine were.

Kids in the Hall was great, but you could tell by season 5 Dave Foley was checked out and wanting to go Hollywood (which by the time they did Brain Candy was so hardcore going mainstream, that he had a demand list to the other guys in order to sign on for it).

I'll hear no cross words about Father Ted, even if the bloody Irish created it.

Black Adder holds up in a rather bittersweet way.

Mike Tyson Mysteries had some incredible episodes.

Gosia LOVES The Vicar of Dibley, but... She's alone on that one.

South Park was solid for most seasons. Arguable is amongst the best record if not the best.

East Bound and Down. Kenny Fucking Powers. That should be enough.

Trailer Park Boys is great. Hold out until season 4 trust me. It’ll make you appreciate the first 3 more as well.

Mike Tysons Mysteries is a good easy watch. Norm is obviously the best part of that show. Surprisingly offensive as well.

The British Office is more offensive and the original is always better. David Brent is just a hateable cunt. He has no redeeming qualities so it’s refreshing to have a character where you only have to hate him.

I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of anything else off the top of my head.

Brent isn't a cunt. He's a bit of a loser with the need to be liked. Finchy is the hateable one.

Any Alan partridge is great. It's probably too tied into English cultural references to go global and spoofing a specific type of English broadcaster but it's never let me down even taking the character into totally different shows it works brilliantly. The mid morning matters era with him doing local radio is a good starting point

Bit old now ( a decade or so old) but the Inbetweeners still makes me laugh. It's absolutely the closest thing to hilarious school days I have seen on it.

What we do in the shadows is good. Vampire show but comedy.

Maybe cunt was a harsh word. He just has nothing good about him. He’s just an ass. Which is refreshing to me as American. All of our characters have to something that explains why they’re not good. We never just have a guy who sucks. I’ve heard the inbetweeners is good from a few people now I’ll have to check it out.

I'm curious how many old school Simpsons fans stuck with it and still watch it to this day. It can't be that many.

I remember getting bored with it and stopped watching around 2001 and it was already starting suck badly then. Anytime I've caught a bit of a recent episode, it's just been horrifically bad.

This is a great video on how it went to shit if you want to kill half an hour

Yeah English shows don't have to make someone a hero unlike US. Even with breaking bad they had to redeem Walter White slightly at the end by making him fight literal Nazis.

Inbetweeners is very much a "teenage" mentality show but done very well.

This country was good too. Filmed like The Office but set in a small English countryside town following two cousins. They are remaking it for the US which will be as terrible as any other remake.

Of course Peep Show which is weirdly made by the person behind Succession but is nothing like it whatsoever.

2001 was... Season 10? That's when it fell into a crater, minus one or two very good episodes. I know some people that call "HOMR" a classic, but watching it again, it's sub-par. That was indicative of the Mike Scully era.

Still, as much as Fox is to blame, so is Jim Brooks and especially Matt Groening. Seinfeld is a real life cunt but he called it correct ending at the height. No one really does it, but it's the right way to go. Groening is the same guy who wanted to keep Futurama going after the SECOND cancellation, when the show already lost it's charm. What ultimately was the series finale was perfect, a really great ending. To reverse that would've shitted on all their efforts.

I'm a commerical artist. I get it. We're here to make money, but still... I take pride in my work. If I can't do it anymore, I'm done, purriod. I'll go quietly, waiting for the knock.

About the 3rd through 9th or 10th seasons of South Park are, in my opinion, some of the funniest TV ever!

It's a cartoon but The Life and Times of Tim is really funny. Moral Orel was fucking great too but it's dark as fuck.
Moral Orel was awesome, but the camping episode and all of the third season is some of the darkest television I've ever seen. This was before Adult Swim went all woke and they cancelled after seeing one of the 3rd season episodes just because of how dark it was.

Wonder Showzen is also pretty great.
