Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
And on top of that, unfortunately I’ve only come across British TV in my college years. Even then, the shows I watched seemed to be of the same theme: WILTY, QI, 8 out of 10 cats, Mock the Week, and the like. Though I have seen Black Adder, which was great.
We do love a panel show, they can be great.
I tend to cleave to comedies more than much else, but if you’re interested in more Black Adder esque things I can recommend the following:
Red Dwarf - old sci-fi sitcom about losers in space.
Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace - an old drama in a hospital built on a rift to hell.
Green Wing - early 2000s comedy set in a hospital.
Toast of London - sit com following Toast, a pompous actor who feels he is better than the voice over work he earns his income from.
Fleabag - dramedy show based off of a stand up routine about being a horrible fleabag of a woman.
We Are Lady Parts - comedy following Amina, who is about to join a Muslim girl punk band.
Friday Night Dinner - comedy based around a weekly family dinner.
Black Books - sitcom in a book shop.
Many thanks! I’m intrigued by a lot of these haha
Enjoy. They’re all classics in their own way (or will be in 10 years time).
Oh, not a comedy but Inside Number 9 is some of the best TV ever made. Well worth watching, too. Amazing tight stories unrelated except by show runners and the number 9.
