BBC1 Comedies

[plightstar]

They used to have the Muppet Show on BBC for a while then they canned it and haven't showed any repeats yet, which is strange for the BBC they will show the Christmas Special of Only Fools a million times but they will never re-show the Muppet Show.


Also recently I liked that BBC 2 comedy which was like a British Version of Scrubs with the guy from Armstrong and Miller and the guy from League of Gentlemen

I take it your discussing this because of the BBC's "Vote for the best sitcom"? located:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sitcom/index.shtml

Voting for the shortlist has finished now, but in 2004 you can vote for one of the top ten.

If I recall I picked Red Dwarf, Blackadder, My Family, Brittas Empire, One Foot in the Grave if it was 5, I can't remember now.

BBC1 and BBC2 are two distinctive brands, each with a different remit. That's why you see more comedy on BBC2. BBC1 is mostly there to inform/educate/entertain.

And anybody who says that satellite tv is better than terrestrial, then ROFL.

I did it a while back, cant for the life of me remember what I put in, but Red Dwarf and Blackadder was certainly in there.

Actually no, I was not aware of such a thing.
No I was just prevaricating.
Someone mentioned Brittas Empire, now that was a good one. For the first two series, then it went shit.

BBC 2 is comedy central now, and a fine job it does.

British comedy is miles better than American, only ones that come even remotely close is Will and Grace/Frasier.

Will & Grace is fantastic

Apart from that this new comedy The Crouches on BBC1 is ok really ;d

I actually watched that just to check it out.
What can I say...the worst comedy I've EVER seen in my life.
It was like so unfunny it hurt. The acting was piss poor and oh my god it was just unbearable.

It's defenitely not the worst I've ever seen myself tbh, I reckon it'll get better the more shows they make
