I didn't see many of them. It was good, but it felt as though it was retreading old gound a bit.

Have you seen Asylum? Early nineties. It had a loose-fitting plot shaped around what was essentially sketches. With Simon Pegg*, two Jessica Stevensons*, Julian Barratt** and Norman Lovett***, plus a different standup comedian each week (including Bill Bailey****).
* Spaced
** Mighty Boosh
*** Red Dwarf
**** Unchallenged King Of All
Trailer Park Boys is very funny, not well known enough in my opinion. It can be found (legally) on Paramount Comedy late at night.
I watched an episode of "Hyperdrive" (a BBC 3 comedy set in Space but different to Red Dwarf) last night for the first time, Was quite funny actually and features Spaced and B3ta/5punk favourite Nick Frost. Also the guy from Big Train, Jam, Black Books and most funny comedies, whose name escapes me.
This is actually one of the few things i bother to watch telly for at the moment.
Thanks for the fuckloads of suggestions, guys . I think I shall be starting with some of the older stuff, like MASH. If nothing else, at least I will understand some of my dads jokes then.

Such as his propensity to wear women's clothing and eat auto parts?
I really wanted to go to our Station Summer Ball as Klinger this year (theme was 80s TV), but just didn't have the time to get the dress and hat. Pity, I already have the dog-tags and boots obviously and I was trying to persuade Mrs Pants to go as Houlahan. Still, there were several Daisy Dukes there, one of which borrowed a pair of my socks to boost her, ummm costume, after thrusting her cleavage at me and asking if they were big enough. The socks were a result of my reply of 'no'.
