Hey what's up,
New to this site got requmended by a freind of mine. Just wanted to ask Richard and the rest of you what you thought of a lot of the new british comidies coming out lately? Most of you will of heard of the office but also shows like Peep Show, Shameless, Alan Partridge, 15 stories high and so on are great new comidies. I dont know if you'd be able to see most of them in the US but if you can what'd all think? As far as american comedy goes you cant beat curb your enthusiasm at the moment.

jtrodreigez,

"The Office" is a great show. Why NBC ruined it by remaking it is a mystery. Just show the British version, it's like they think we are too stupid to recognize humor if it has a British accent.

HEY NBC!!! I understood Benny Hill just swell, BLOODY SWELL!!!

robfharris,
great point man, i have no idea why they fuck with great shows just cause they assume you wont get it. I mean some of the most daring and subversive comedy comes from the US and they still try to americanise great UK shows. Was the US version of the office really that bad? i imagine so.
