Pretty much the same for me Rampage.

Never really given Seinfeld a chance but what i did see didn't do anything for me.

Gays, I need a new tv show. Feel there is a void in my life after having finished The West Wing. Don't bother with mediocre, because I am looking for something really good.

Just do what we did - wait a couple of months then watch it all again. In fact we have just started on our third viewing.

I'm pleased that The Newsroom is back. Ep 1 of Season 3 was ok - not one of the best episodes but sets up some interesting story lines for the season.

Just finished suits, very enjoyable series.

I've still not seen The Thick of It which is on my list to watch. Could never get into The Office.

thick of it, forgot about that one. it's definitely up there, even if the final season was a little bit of a stumble from the previous.

you should get on it asap, chock full of proper LOL moments and dialogue

Blackadder The Third is a hilarious series of riffs on history in my opinion. It's the only season of Blackadder that really nails it.

Rex

Oh, I loved Blackadder!

invisibleman18

Yeah Blackadder should be on my list too and the Inbetweeners I forgot. I really must get onto The Thick of It, especially as a civil servant myself! Love Capaldi as the Doctor too.

Rex

Finished Fargo couple of days ago. Was really good, despite some glaring holes in the plot.

All the talk of Black Adder, Rd Dwarf, The Office, etc on this page has me wondering, are there any newish good British comedies on TV?

Rewatching series 4 at the moment, it's a lot funnier than I remembered.

Very excited, although I will be on my way home from footie as it happens, about the return of The Fall tonight.

Also, I've seen some posts on here talking about how the characters in Mad Men are so unlikeable... I've just started watching series 7 and it's been three episodes of absolute bliss for me. How do you not enjoy the antics of Don and Pete and co?

Qwiss

I love Mad Men and most of the characters in it. Even though Don is objectively a complete and utter cunt I still kind of like him too, probably because Jon Hamm is so likeable.

Klaus

Knowing something is a tale of fiction helps a lot. I think we find Don sort of endearing because he's such a good character (Hamm is as much responsible for this as the writers), as opposed to a good person. A good character always makes the story better. In reality he'd be an absolutely insufferable piece of shit though.

Nothing at quite the same level but Bad Education is pretty good. Also Moone Boy is good too, though that's Irish (but produced by British Sky I believe).

@RTC
I'm jealous about The Fall. The final episode of season 1 was on here last night and it was great. Really excellent series. Not sure when season 2 will start here though.

As for Mad Men, they are great characters to be sure but I just started to lose interest in the show agter about the 4th or 5th season.

i found a touch of cloth funny. it has john hannah in it, and was produced by charlie brooker. its a pretty good skewering of police drama/procedurals. the jokes and puns can get repetitive at times, but there's some absolute golden comedy in it.

Another good episode of Arrow yesterday with Arsenal finally named!

QuincyAbeyie

Think this season of Arrow has been kind of disappointing. Hope it can reach the heights of season 2.

Gazza M

i dont think it will. season 2 arc felt more personal, and the island flashbacks were stronger. the flashbacks this season are dragging, and the present day stuff has too much of laurels shenanigans.

invisibleman18

Season 2 was a pretty hard act to follow but it's been a decent start. True the flashbacks don't live up to the island stuff. I'd love a whole island focused season, could be a lot more to tell than what we've seen.
