Of course you have to download loads of Adam Curtis documentaries, stuff like Planet Earth, and the World at War.

Agree with everything you said except this. I dunno what it is about the Young Ones, I just can't find it funny, I've tried so hard to laugh at it, and I kinda can't. This depresses me.

Not that my opinion matters as I’m new here, but I fucking hate the mighty boosh! That show is the biggest pile of shit i have ever seen.
I'd seen the odd bits and bobs and just changed channel because it wasn’t funny.
One day decided to watch an episode to see what the fuss was about, the episode was about a boxing match with a kangaroo.
I never laughed once and just felt sick because of how unfunny it was.
The fucking show is retarded.
Just saying the name of it makes me fucking angry.

My picks would be:

Red Dwarf
Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
Black Books
Only fools and horses

It's really not.

I'd rather be repeatedly kicked in the face than watch that again.

Got to say I struggle with it. There is the (very rare) moment of pure class id say (par example, the line from I think that kangaroo episode "She'll be all over you like a flannel" <- Actual gold, but about 2 seconds of the episode

)

But the songs. GOD FUCKING DAM i hate the songs. When will the world realise that comedy music isnt funny...ever. I hate it so much, it makes me hurt inside.
