^almost this

the last couple of series ruined it though.

1) Arrested Development
2) Time Trumpet
3) Alan Partridge
4) The Office
5) Father Ted


My dog has no nose...

Armando Iannucci Shows
I'm Alan Partridge
Spaced
Father Ted
Big Train
Peep Show
Garth Merenghi's Darkplace
Man To Man with Dean Learner


i was supposed to conclude that with

any five of this lot, but Father Ted, Spaced and Armando's show are my favourite three.


Bottom

and Spaced.


It's so good

that it transcends time.


"you just jolly well think about what you said young man!"

Lady obviously but it spoils the quote otherwise.


Mine:

1) Arrested Development - Greatest show of all time!
2) Curb Your Enthusiasm - 2nd Greatest.
The rest all pale into insignificance!


^ After my own heart.

Also, add to the list:

- My Family.


Thick of It

Peep Show.

That is all.


Shooting

Stars...and another number of ones others have put,


League of Gentlemen

Peep Show
I'm Alan Partridge
Red Dwarf
Blackadder


ah feck...

Replace Blackadder with some junk from Channel 4.


...

1)i'm alan partridge
2)Curb your enthusiams
3)the office: an american workplace(so much better the english version after the first series)
4)Peep Show

i've got a soft spot for nathan barley as well but not sure is as rewatchable as all of the above.


Peep Show

Why wasn't Peep Show on in my top 5??


Top 5

I'm Alan Partridge
Spaced
Peep Show
Green Wing
Black Books

Essentially a massive win for channel 4, they need to get right the fuck back on form!


.

Peep Show
The Thick of It
I'm Alan Partridge (but series 1 >>> series 2)
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Wall

one of them might be a joke.

Agree that Father Ted is one of the best comedies of all time, but it's older than 10 years - the last episode was in 1997.


Here we go

Arrested Dev
The Office
Darkplace
Peepshow

Do League of Gents and Alan Partridge count? They seems to have been about 10 years since the first series. IF they do, those two for peep show


I guess...

Patridge shouldn't count (although Series 2 does).

League of Gentlemen is fine.

Father Ted is way too old (definite 90s show)

Red Dwarf shouldn't really count too.

I guess it should have been "..of this decade" or something


No one's mentioned Early Doors

That was ace.


Only 5? Cruel.

I'd say:

Royle Family
Arrested Development
The Office
Spaced
The Thick of It

Futurama if it counts.


in no particular order...

Brass Eye
Jam
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Family Guy
I'm Alan Partridge


1. Spaced

2. I'm Alan Partridge
3. The Office
4. Armando Iannucci Shows
5. Black Books


Definitely

Curb
Brass Eye
The Day Today
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
Alan Partridge
Spaced


oooh and

I am not an animal


.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Office
South Park
Garth Marenghi
Spaced


I'm Alan Partridge

is the best comedy programme of all time, but only the first series.


I used to agree with you

but I now think the second series is funnier.


NOOOOOOOOOO!

it goes from dark, (relatively) subtle and wonderfully scripted to crude, caricature and setpiece-driven. It has its moments but I just don't get it at all.


it's more reliant on stupid set-ups

I suppose the first series is to a large extent too. It's kind of the same as has happened with Peep Show although that has worked much better with the changes.


I know what you meant

I just wanted to isolate that term to make you look a bit silly.


.

1. South Park
2. The Royle Family
3. Ideal
4. Peep Show
5. The Thick Of It
6. Futurama
7. Family Guy

Does Spaced count? If so, that's probably 5th or so.


I cant do 5

The Mighty Boosh
Jam
Nathan Barley
Brasseye
Armndo Iunnicci Show
Garth Merenghi's Dark Place
Big Train
Spaced
Time Trumpet
Father Ted
Curb
Office


Arrested Development

is genius. Apparently there might be a movie on the way
