I'd start with Only Fools, it's a little old now but is without a doubt the best comedy writing to come out of the UK. The characters are are brilliant (anyone who has lived in London knows a Delboy or two) and the story-lines are often very sincere and heartfelt.Ste_lla said:I'll make sure to check some of these shows
Father Ted is also a little old but is also the best comedy writing to come out of Ireland. Deals with a lot of the Irish attitude to religion in a completely mad and bazaar way.
I may be a little biased, I was born in London but have an Irish passport. Still, they both hold a very special place in the publics hearts over here.
Cowboy Bebop should change your views on your favorite animation. It's only 26 episodes and 1 movie but it's superb.
