Family Guy is wicked :twisted: and brave too considering how conservative US TV programming is... Fave episode is the one where Peter gets 3 wishes and ends up boneless 
Although Stewie and Brian just rock - I couldn't say which of their adventures I like best 'cos they're all so good - although the 2-parter where Stewie kills Lois is right up there and where Stewie kicks ass in Bin Laden's hideout .
I have never, and never will, watch a full episode of Friends no matter how much I respect the opinion of the person who told me how brilliant it is though I do like some US comedy v. much - Frasier; Malcolm in the Middle; Third Rock and Best of the West (is there anyone who remembers that? It was really clever but was cancelled very quickly or it was over here.
Very best of British Blackadder (all of 'em); Red Dwarf (all of 'em including the new ones); Gimme Gimme Gimme (Kathy Burke is an utter genius); The Comic Strip; Anything with Jo Brand oh and Dad's Army just 'cos it's so 'right' and Vicar of Dibley although I refused to look at it at first - but I do like Dawn French (I went to school with her cousin. Dawn was in the same 'year' as us but at a posh private school in Plymouth )

Cheers Bouncy - and hey apparently the episode I mentioned (2 of 2) when Stewie kills Lois was banned! Possibly because Stewie takes over the White House? rather than the bit where him and Lois do a Matrix style shoot out with lots of cartoon gore? :twisted:
But who knows with US censors - anyone across the pond able to enlighten us jaded, decadent Limies? Please?

I think so - not usually a fan on comedy songs, but these two hit it spot on:

It centres around two Kiwis living in New York trying to make a go og it but with a useless manager - all very deadpan and, to my eyes and ears, very funny.

My friends friend Sue writes Two Pints of Lager and Grown Ups (sadly I find it a bit trite, corny and laddish or that would be really cool claim to fame)
