Britain does have some of my favourite shows, Thin Blue Line, The Office and recently My Family, even if only for the sarcastic dad and the oldest son who seems to start a new business every day. Though Britain does do bland very well too, but probably not quite to the same shitness that is Will and Grace. And can I get a fuck yeah for Only Fools and Horses?

I like bits and pieces from both places, I love the British comic geniuses such as Ricky Gervais and Derick Haig, but I also love the American style of "piss taking", always entertaining when done well.
The last couple of seasons of The Simpsons are kinda weak actually...South Park pisses all over them. Not to mention that they're much more provocative.

Oh and Will and Grace is funny whachyatalkaboutfool?? Well not them exactly, but Karen and Jack, and Rosario.
