I missed out on Charmed. I'd usually watch reruns of The Outer Limits (the awful 90s remake though, not the original series) instead. Which is an excellent choice if you want 100% pure unfettered cheese.

There desperately needs to be another witch drama on TV, though (ideally starring Jane Fonda and RuPaul)

QI!

I simply adore British panel shows, the witty banter, the lack of censorship, the politically incorrect jokes that would make American's (well, some, not all) heads explode. Swearing, sarcasm, all in good fun.
QI was among the best, if not the best of them. Unfortunately now that Stephen Fry left it.. well, it's not the same. Sandi Toksvig is charismatic but well, she's no Stephen Fry I'm afraid.

Have you seen Mock the Week, hosted by Dara O'Brien ? I can literally cry laughing at what these guys and gals do and tell.
Mock the Week and QI <3

I love QI, Buzzcocks, would I lie to you etc but Mock the Week in the best of all of em imo.

Also watched 'Have I got new for you' for years, seems a bit bias in the angle of it's comedy these days though.

I'm definitely down for self-soothing content. I recently invested in a ridiculously shaggy fur blanket for just that purpose, so I've got the burrito part down.

The fact that the lot of you put so much stock into the series makes me just a little curious. I haven't witnessed this degree of loyalty since the RHPS scene. Maybe I'll give it a shot on an evening when I'm feeling particularly adventurous. Thank you all.

Absolutely! It's preceisely their masterful juggling of Oxford academia and fart jokes that makes it such a gem. The panel's reaction to Fry casually recalling an incident with his tailor as a schoolboy... the "Acropolis" verbal fumble... and the ever-exasperated and incompetent Alan Davies consistently keep me laughing to tears.

Would I Lie to You is my second favorite panel show. David Mitchell's rants are legendary. I still go back and watch the "Once I accidentally bought a horse" bit again and again. (Seriously watch this segment up if you haven't seen it yet.)

Thank you to both Yac and Ziggy for mentioning Mock of the Week. I'll definitely check it out!

Check out 'scenes we'd like to see', best segment imo.

Here's the first supercut.

Loooove QI and Would I Lie to You. (I adore Miranda Hart; did her show ever get a second season?) Such comforting shows.

I hope not as do most of the British people.

I really enjoy the QI fact books and the wonderfully entertaining No Such Thing as a Fish podcast series hosted by the QI Elves. It's like an evening of coffee or tea with fascinating friends. Definitely registers on the comfort scale.

I've been meaning to read the Books of General Ignorance and the NSTaaF Book of the Year as well.

No he won't. ISB doesn't like drama. Leave him alone.
This is something I can get behind. Angel, too.
Don't forget Have I Got News For You?

Either you just low-key insulted ISB, or you're kind of a dipshit.
