    Mrs Brown's Boys is/was awful. Desperate attempt by the Nick Nacks to come up with something after the superb Father Ted ended.

    I must watch a lot less TV than I'd thought, hardly seen any of these.

    I'd go for

    The Office
    Inbetweeners
    IT Crowd


    Have never seen the following;

    Car Share - although I do like Peter Kay
    Count Arthur Strong - never even heard of this one
    The Thick of It
    Raised by Wolves - another one I've never heard of
    Green Wing
    Yonderland - Horrible Histories was funny though
    Twenty Twelve
    Benidorm

    Given the list includes stuff I wasn't even aware existed I was surprised not to see Extras (funny but not as good as The Office) or The Might Boosh (not very funny but I may be in a minority).

    Almost makes you glad to have grown up in the good old days of Mind Your Language, On the Buses, George & Mildred and Love Thy Neighbour.

    That list was compiled by one of mankind's biggest spastics.

    Peep Show is by far the best of that list, followed by IT Crowd and Thick of It.

    Special mention to Twenty Twelve, some of it is ****ing brilliant.

    Peter Kay ffs <doh>

    Phoenix Nights was brilliant. However I believe that was mainly down to Dave Spikey's writing as opposed to Peter "Garlic Bread" Kay.

    Chewin The Fat should have made it onto the list although technically it started in the 20th Century. "****, ****, Good Guy"

    Still Game would count too.
