Yes we now need a Tivo with a 3TB hard drive.:D;):D

I will second that Richard. I had watched a couple of the first series and decided it was a bit off the wall even for me. A few days ago tivo recorded an episode as a suggestion and I decided it to give it another try. I've now put it on series link. It was the one where a lady's plump belly saved Larry David's life after he nearly fell off a roof. Funniest ending to a comedy I've seen in years. :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes l love my British comedy and who can forget some of the wonderful series of the past.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

IMO British comedy used to be the best but since the BBC seems to have given up on mainstream comedy several years ago then I can only find American comedy series worth watching.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes so do I and as you say who can forget the great comedy's of the past, But some of the new US ones are getting better:confused:( But not as good as the home-grown ones )

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes BBC,SKY,and ITV should invest more in British comedy.

We have always had our own distinct sense of humour in this country.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I have the box set series 1-7 the writing is top notch and is consistant.As this clip called "splashback" from series 7 illustrates ps it will offend the religeous.;) The lady with the belly is in there too this must have been the episode you watched.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I think its just the fact the US networks have much deeper pockets.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

They always have though and the BBC still made some of the best comedy series in the world.

:D Yes that's the one Richard. Comedy genius.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I agree but just look how much the BBC has had to cut off their budgets over the last few years , a lot of famous British actors/actresses head to the states now as the BBC simply can't offer them as much.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Whilst we're recommending US comedies; "The Big Bang Theory" get's my nod.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Remind you of anyone:confused:

Only joking Carl:(

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I never look at what country a show is form, if its good its good. There might be some extremely good British comedy but there is quite a bit rubbish around as well.

In recent years there has been some superb US comedy:

Curb your Enthusiasm
Community
The Office (just get past the horrid first season)
Parks and Recreation (This show is just superb)
Big Bang Theory
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (might be a bit to twisted for most)
Two and a Half Men (you either love it or hate it but I find it a very switch your brain of an go with flow)
Modern Family
How I Met Your Mother
Party Down

As you can guess I am a US TV junkie.

The only British comedy in recent years that has got me laughing is The In betweeners and Peep Show.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Not in the slightest :p:

As am I, but mainly their dramas. Not a big fan of comedy; though I might give "Curb..." a try sometime. Plus I have a wishlist for S1E1 of "2.5 Men" just to see what the fuss is about :)

Yes looking at his Avatar he reminds me of Angus Loughran or Statto as he is known as.
