I always liked this routine;
(Mike enters, questioning Vivian.)
Mike-Whats this?
Vivian-I don't know.
Mike-Oh.
(Mike leaves the room, and returns, fish in hand.)
Mike-Whats this?
Vivian-Its a fish.
Mike-Whats this fish doing in my bed?
Vivian-Its not in your bed, its in your hands.
Mike-Oh.
(Mike returns the fish to its bed-location.)
Mike-Whats this fish doing in my bed?
Vivian-Don't know, its not my fish.
bambi has got to be one of the funniest episodes. i love the bit where they run up stairs to go to bed, and when then come back down all the actors have changed characters, then they just disappear and re appear at the laundromat :p
fucking hilarious/
incidently the reason they had bands on was because they got more funding if they pitched the show as a variety show rather than a sitcom

Yay, someone else knows The Goodies. They ran repeats on abc years ago and I recently got the dvd. Good show. It gets unfair comparisons to Python though.

I never liked seinfeld. Always found it and the characters irritating for some reason.

Best: Conan. I love him. 10:45pm weekdays on the Comedy Channel.
Then after that at 11:30 you have to watch Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn. It's awesome.

Swell programs.

I watched twenty-four episodes of Absolutely Fabulous (courtesy of the DVD box-set :p) in a five-day period. Much fun and hillarity was had, and the compulsion to utter 'sweetie' or 'darling' frequently to others still remains. The first three series are particularly 'fabulous', even asking such important questions as;

Why don't they just tax the stupid people?.
So when its midnight, the year goes up by one?[...] Better write that down. (Ah Bubble's idiocy and randomly deep vocal tone.)

*Retrospectively adds to list*

Additionally, what are your (and anyone elses) thoughts on the impending American adaption of The Office? Seems like a foolish idea to me, but will wait until the ultimate airing before making a final judgement. The man threw a kettle over a pub. What have you done?

*GASP* What?! This is news to me!! :eek:

It'd be interesting to watch, but I doubt I'll like it.. nothing compares to David Brent and co. :p

Gareth: "I could catch a monkey. If I was starving I could. I'd make poison darts out of the poison of the deadly frogs. One milligram of that poison can kill a monkey. Or a man. Prick yourself and you'd be dead within a day. Or longer. Different frogs, different times."

AB Fab, Monty Python, The Office and Family Guy would be some of the best
