Daria is just so awesome. :D

Best TV, well I am partial to Seinfeld. ;)

I would kill to get Red Dwarf shown back on our stations. :(

I have the answer to that: be such a major fan of the show that you go out and buy all the videos, books, several t-shirts and a hat.

Me? A dwarfer? Never!! :D :D

I think that much is obvious from your name, don't you? ;)

Am I that obvious? The sig quote can't help me much there either.

Only to a fellow dwarfer, perhaps... I think you should get an appropriate avatar, and change your sig to "Game over, boys" though... :D

Don't recognise the sig quote...? :confused:

@Tammy yeah, the books aren't as good though ;)

So I guess its not based on the actual series then? Like the BG novels which have nothing to do with the games.

Oh, no, it's more like they take a load of episodes and weave random parts of them together trying to make them into a coherent story... They're not bad, but not as good as the series.

Sounds like an interesting concept, well it is pretty hard to top that show. ;)

I just saw one of the best Whose Line games ever.

I can't remember the name of it, but the idea is that each of the four people could only use a specific number of words.
It was set on 'Titanic' - Colin was Jack, who could only use 5 words, Ryan was the Captain, who could only use three words, Wayne was Cal, who could only use four words, and the woman was Rose, who could only use two words.

So it went something like:

Rose: "Oh, Jack!"
Jack: " Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose!"
Captain: "I'm so drunk!"
and it went on like this.

I know it's a bit pathetic giving the minutes of an improve show, but I have time to waiste waiting for my flight.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Delightful British comedy series, very much influenced by the great American humorist and essayist, James Thurber.


Besides Monty Python and a few others, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin was great.

Does anyone know if that series is on tape or DVD??? I have been looking all over for it.

@Tamerlane. Yeah, Amazon and some others. But, I haven't found it, maybe I need to dig further.

@Nomer it has been published on video, but it's out of print... It's listed on Amazon UK, but not actually available.

Thanks, I'll just have to wait for them to re-release it or check E-Bay.

You know, Ive never seen Red Dwarf and I probably never will.

Red Dwarf and The Simpsons are good...they always make me laugh out loud (sadly unlike many comedies), but I still don't reckon they belong in 'Best TV Of All Time'...Now, A Show Called Fred...that's a different matter. That and The Day Today are the two shows that I would rather watch than anything else (pretty much)...

ooh yes, The Day Today is a sheer classic. also, any of the Alan Partridge programs are sheer classics.
