Fine, thanks Whiz. Glad to see your taste in TV and movies hasn't changed a bit.

You seen the new epsiodes?

Not as good as the previous seasons I have to say, but still better than most sitcoms around.

I actually think they've been great - the "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" episode was brilliant, Charlie being the Wild Card cracked me up - especially at the end.

Was a funny show in the beginning, then got a bit shit. The last season was awful. Horrible series finale.

This series of It's always sunny has been as good as any of the rest. Quality show.

Especially "Wildcard, bitches!!"

It's about four friends in their late 20s/early 30s who run an unsuccessful Irish bar, "Paddy's Pub", in South Philadelphia. It's been described as "Seinfield on crack" and Danny DeVito is in it.

It's had 4 seasons now so it's not exactly new.

It's quite difficult to explain, though I doubt you'd like it seeing as a show like Friends is your favourite - it's very unorthodox.

What a coincidence, I downloaded and watched most of Season 1 of Sunny in Philadelphia today. It's pretty funny, but I feel it's a bit bland. Don't really like the girl character, and the three guys don't really seem to have any set characteristics and seem interchangeable. It could be because I've only seen a few episodes, but I'll keep watching.

Seriously, it's almost as bad as Shoot the Writers and Scallywagga...for some reason that I can't fathom only C4 seems to be able to consistently produce decent British comedy these days

It gets better when Danny Devito is in it, I think that's season 2.

Whats to like??? The actors are poor, the script is terrible, any comic timing and presence is entirely lacking from the cast and production... It's shit - total and utter shit.

what? thats the biggest bollocks i've ever read! The actors are great, script is hilairious, don't full understand your 3rd point.

Coming of Age is a fantastic show, then again how old are you? Maybe only one type of age group finds it funny?

27, so I'm not exactly ancient. I'm sure it is aimed at an age group younger than me - that doesn't excuse it being shit. The actors aren't good, seriously, they're average to awful, and the script is clumsy, obvious and strained. As for my third point, that might explain why you like the show...
But hey, each to their own - if it makes you laugh, great. I thought the 2 episodes I've watched were utterly and irredeemably crap.

Now there is a funny show, with good actors (or at least funny actors) and a quality script (plus great songs). Other good examples of quality British comedy shows include:

Father Ted
Black Books
Blackadder
Brass Eye
Green Wing
Nathan Barley
Spaced
Fawlty Towers
Monty Python
The Mighty Boosh
The IT Crowd
A Bit of Fry & Laurie
The League of Gentlemen
Red Dwarf
Jeeves & Wooster
The Young Ones
Not The Nine O'Clock News
Coupling
The Office
Extras
Drop The Dead Donkey
etc.

Plus (not to my taste but widely regarded as classics):
Bottom
Little Britain
Only Fools & Horses
Dads Army
'Allo 'Allo

Good taste.

Friends was decent at first but there just alot of better comedies out there at the moment.

There's one glaringly obvious ommission from that list.

For shame!
