Not so much American (seriously, Arrested Development, Scrubs, and a few cartoons that get stretched to an unbelievable quantity of episodes. What else do you have though? Very little innovation or progression.)
Nah, if you had said Little Britain takes a bit of getting used to yeah, but Peep show just isn't very funny...
Allo Allo is antient, they're actually doing a rerun on the national telly...I thought it was funny when I was 5...not so much now...
I preffer the cheaky bastard sort of comedies a la "Blackadder" or " The new statesman" ( Rick Mayall is a fucking genious! )
