..I know this has been well covered in the past but I just watched "In With The Flynns"-half an hour of my life I will never get back.I despair of the so-called sit com these days.I mean when something as shite as My Family gets yet another series there is absolutely no hope.

Was that the one that was about a guitar and a skiing trip. If so it made My Family look good. I think My Family has been cancelled by the way

When you live abroad you get to see just how much Brit comedy is valued.
But fook me there is some shoddy shit as well. I still can't fathom how little Britain won awards, it just ain't fucking funny.

I watched a re-run of Shooting Stars yesterday, from 1976, it was still hilarious and was the best thing on by a mile at about 6.00pm last night.
Can't remember the last good, new, british comedy that was on tv. The Trip probably. Summer Heights High (on BBC Three but Australian) was brilliant and I liked the first 2 episodes of Angry Boys but it wasn't enough to make me remember to watch the others.
I'm not much of a TV fan though, I'm only just getting around to watching the first episodes of the Wire.
Some parts of Little Britain were actually quite good though, its just the catchphrases and popularity that make it seem really shit now.

Shooting star is hilarious
I still get the giggles thinking about Superhans: Men with ven.
Little Britain...... way to repetitive. "I'm a lady".... for fucks sake, again?

Men with ven. Brilliant! I've not actually watched the latest series. The first episode wasn't that great and I forgot about it after that... I think I may have just found myself something to do!

One of the most over rated comedies ever - on a par with the Young Ones for being a cult but actually shite.

I think the last time I found Matt Lucas funny was as George and Marjory Daws on Shooting Stars!

Everyone thought it was the best thing ever to begin with. Eventually everyone realised it was the same jokes every week and that it actually wasn't that funny. Some comedy stands the test of time, Little Britain doesn't. Think it's a bit unfair criticising the BBC's comedy output as they've come up with so many good shows over the years and it's impossible for every show to be a hit. There is probably only one or two hit comedies that come out the US every year. It feels wrong but Not Going Out is probably my favourite at the moment. New series coming soon as well I think.
