I have watched many older British comedies..."Are You Being Served", "Good Neighbors", "Red Dwarf" and "Vicar of Dibley"...But is there something great i am missing? Let's talk about it....
The Minister of Silly Walks...
Classic!
If you are an older geeky type of person, you will find The I.T. Crowd laugh-out-loud funny.
I have watched the entire series (4 seasons) twice and still occasionally pull up an episode to watch to fill in time.
Many of the episodes are/were on youtube:

As Time Goes By
With Judy Dench and Geoffrey Palmer
The Thin Blue Line is another Rowan Atkinson series that’s not bad.
Blandings
Blot on the Landscape.
That’s why it’s funny. It’s not about autism, it’s a comedy.
Fawlty Towers - Episode with German Hotel Guests:
Well, you started it.
We did not start it.
Yes you did, you invaded Poland !
Jeeves and Wooster, or anything else by P. G. Wodehouse. And Monty Python. Can’t forget that.
You fascist junta! :)
Something wild and totally different- The Young Ones
The league of Gentlemen.
Mrs. Brown’s Boys Check out some of the episodes on YouTube. I guarantee you’ll be ROFLYAO!
Oh lord yes, as I’m sure you’ve found out by now.
I will try to dig up some of my faves later tonight.
Oh, and
Top Gear
With Clarkson, May, and Hammond
Farty Towels, One Foot in the Grave, Keeping Up Appearances, Are you being Served?, a newer one is The IT Crowd, it’s pretty funny. Saxondale, Spaced, Little Britain are funny as well.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Watched that....couldn’t get into it....but maybe you know others...Thanks.
I appreciate all the replies...My wife and I are stuck on these excellent BritComs....Just relaxing for us at bed time.
Wow....took 11 posts for someone to suggest Monty Python. What is FR coming to these days?
“As Time Goes By” can be seen every Saturday night on PublicTV....at least in my region.
