Heading out to Chandler, just outside pheonix :) Can\'t wait looking forward to a nice change of scenery tho summer times gonna be hell, but atleast it\'ll be a dry heat :p

Yeah bbc america would be nice but it\'s not on my basic cable and I dun watch tv much at all other then the food network, I\'m a dvd freak tho this series is one I\'m gonna be trackin down. Havn\'t scene a sitcom this funny in a good long while, kinda gave up on american sitcoms a good while back too much rehashing of old stories n charecters... tho years of over dosing on the same old stuff really makes goofy shite like this grab ya by the ears and shake like a crazed monkey.

Indeed, this is one of the most consistently funny UK sitcoms produced in a long long time. Definitely a favourite of mine and I\'m sure they\'re phone answering policy has been adopted by most organisations by now.

Season 3 of the Boosh though is pretty poor. Moments of brilliance, but on the whole it\'s really lost its magic. Methinks the boys have bought into their own hype a little too much and the Noel factor is way too high.

Richard Ayoade in the IT Crowd is highly entertaining. Best voice ever?

And yeah, Linehan is the man.

Father Ted, Brass Eye, Jam, Black Books and possibly the greatest of all, Big Train. All comedy gold.

They were supposed to be making an Americanised version of it a\'la the office. Richard Ayoade was going to reprise his role as Mos but it fell through. Any fans of him and the show though need to check out Garth Marenghi\'s Darkplace, probably the greatest piece of overlooked British comedy in years (this show just doesn\'t get the recognition it deserves). You can get the complete series with brilliant extras on DVD, its a gem.

Darkplace was great, it really built up tension with adverts and stuff before it was aired. Just a fantastic piss take of it\'s genre! Satire at it\'s best!

T\'was indeed another fine show. Lets face it, when it comes to unusual, quirky comedy, nobody comes close to the stuff our fine little island pumps out.

Basil Brush
Ant & Dec
Ronnie Corbett
\"Keeping up Appearances\"
\"Absolutley Fabulous\"
