British Comedies

After watching Shaun of the Dead, I looked up some of the actors from the film. This lead to the discovery that a lot of the actors had worked together on a British comedy called Spaced. I have never heard of this show, but I liked the movie so I figured I would give it a whirl. After watching the first episode I was hooked. Since then I have obtained half of the 14 episode run. Then I got to thinking. Over the years I have viewed many British comedies on various channels such as PBS and Comedy Central. Some I liked some I can not stand. The following is a list of the ones I can remember watching in to particular order.

Likes:
Red Dwarf
Mr. Bean
The Young Ones
‘Allo ‘Allo
Spaced
Black Books
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Black Adder I,II,III and IV

Dislikes:
Are You Being Served?
Absolutely Fabulous (Ab Fab)
Fawlty Towers
The Thin Blue Line
Keeping Up Appearances
Chef
The League of Gentlemen


There is also Benny Hill, which I remember watching but was too young to fully grasp what I was seeing let alone categorize it as good or bad.

They may not be liked by everyone, but I think it is an acquired tasted like any foreign tv/movies seem to be.
