Doesn't anyone watch BritComs anymore?

I still enjoy watching Doc Martin and re-watching As Time Goes By. Is there anyone else out there who still does this?

I still watch allo Allo.

Toast of London is great.

The first episode was good. I didn't think any episode after came close to matching it.

BritComs I've loved and can definitely watch again:
Black Books
The IT Crowd
Father Ted
Fawlty Towers

[–] mergaqui (112) 5 months ago

Father Ted is criminally underrated.

I always go back to Peep Show.

I am watching Doc Maarten

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 5 months ago

Doc Martin has great writing and it's a lot of fun to watch. As much as I enjoyed it, I think they went on a little too long. Well, maybe it's that they didn't advance the story enough in the final two seasons. The actors aged, as we all do, but it was a bit of a stretch that Martin and Louisa's son James was still very young.

But didn't you have a crush on Jessica Ransom?

Ps Glen Ellyn almost borders me

My mother loved both of those as well as Keeping up appearances.

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 5 months ago

I watched Keeping Up Appearances. Or I should say I tried to watch it, but I couldn't take so much of Hyacinth. Maybe I wasn't it the right mood. I'll probably give it another try someday.

In case anyone is wondering, I'm not your mother. 🤭

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 5 months ago

Hey, Big K! I've never heard of Spaced. I'll have to add it to my list.

[–] mergaqui (112) 5 months ago

My favorites:

The Mighty Boosh
Spaced
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 5 months ago

I've never heard of The Mighty Boosh. I may check it out. Unsure about Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, though. We'll see.

[–] mergaqui (112) 5 months ago

The Mighty Boosh and Darkplace won't appeal to everyone. If you like absurdist humor then you should enjoy them.
