I was going to reply last night to this but got sucked down the rabbit hole of watching the following again for hours on YT.

Summer Heights High
We can be Heroes
Ja'ime - private school girl.

All featuring Australian Chris Lilley as a variety of characters. So funny. One of those ones where sometimes the character says something and you laugh out loud and then think 'should I be laughing at that?'

I also love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

“ There’s a pedophile in the school get out!!!! “ 😂 mr g is such an incredible character. I wish to god CL had given him his own spin off show I adore him. I think he’s probably most people’s favourite. He’s such a twit but sometimes you can’t help but feel sorry for him... he reminds me of an Alan Partridge type character. Very well written. Love his little friendship with Rodney.

Loved We Can Be Heroes, J’amie Private School Girl was okay, but I felt like she worked better as an ensemble character in SHH.

Dont know what went wrong with Chris Lilley his most recent stuff is terrible. Summer Heights High is such a brilliant piece of work he cant top it.

Sorry, I completely misread that 🙈🙈
The Following is a program about an FBI agent chasing a serial killer who has a cult following. Kevin Bacon/James Purefoy. I have never known anyone else who has watched it...probably explains my misreading and excitement 😂

Actually quite liked Lunatics! Some characters were a bit off the mark but overall thought it was enjoyable. The one character I do not find funny at all though, is s’mouse.

I do like a bit of New York's 99th precinct! I have never given 'Arrested Development' a real chance but it has always been a one I want to watch.

Stayed up all night watching episodes of Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing. Adore this show, it’s relaxing, poignant, funny and just all round wonderful. A less bitter The Trip 😂
 
Any of the Vic Reeves/Bob Mortimer shows
The Good Place (a really easy watch for pandemic times)
Alan Partridge
Knowing me knowing you
The thick of it
Brooklyn nine-nine

I hear Friday night dinner is really good, but I haven't watched it yet.

The good place has a wobbly middle/3rd series and a spectacular end. Honestly, one of the best endings to a show I have ever seen. Its an extended episode. I felt exactly the same as you when the series where they go back to Earth happens, but then it really picked up in the final series. Brilliant. Get your tissues ready.

Oh I'm so glad you admitted to that! I felt a bit emotional watching it and turned it off after saying to myself "it's a fictional show, grow up!" 😂😂 I've now seen it but yes, tissues should be on standby
 
This Country is one of the best comedy series I’ve seen in ages.
Man Like Mobeen is also very good!
Old favourites are:-
Gimme Gimme Gimme
Gavin and Stacey
Two Pints of Lager and a packet of crisps
Dinnerladies
The Royle Family
 
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned but Nathan barley is amazing, was written by Charlie brooker about 10 years ago, I think the eps are all on YouTube
