I certainly understood the humour. That wasn't meant as an insult. A lot of people think you have to be a New Yorker to get Seifeld humor. Not insulted at all . Growing up in Australia, as well as Aussie comedy we had a healthy diet of UK & US comedies so we generally understand most English speaking humour. I just realised I left the Goodies off my list...classic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinthee Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Interesting, if you look at the one common series on most people's list it is Fawlty Towers. I would venture that this is probably the funniest show of all time, worldwide. Gut splitting at times. Too bad it was so short. Two great characters: And John Cleese is fantastic on the big screen too. Who can forget "A Fish called Wanda?"

sibeymai Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Many posted which I agree with but really enjoyed Kath & Kim, ABC (Australia). Edit: Just remembered a classic from the past....the "Doctor" series (Doctor in the House, Doctor in Charge, Doctor at Large, etc.) Mother & Son is another classic.

Jingthing Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Its interesting to consider how comedy shows age. Do they still seem really good over time? For example, I loves Monty Python's Flying Circus as a kid. But I would never watch those old shows now. I can't imagine ever not seeing the humor in a Seinfeld classic. And, btw, wasn't Seinfeld a huge hit in Japan? Edited August 16, 2007 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
