currently i'm watching stewart lee's comedy vehicle, dave gorman's genius, the inbetweeners and charlie brooker's Newswipe (on tonight) hooray!, oh and far as radio goes i listen to stephen merchant's 6 music show and the now show on radio 4

Top 5 Fave Shows would have to be:
1. Father Ted
2. Brass eye
3. Peep Show
4. Nathan Barley
5. The Simpsons (obviously)

what's everyone else here into?

[PeepingTom]

Currently Newswipe (love Brooker's writing too), Phill and Phil's Perfect Ten (podcast with Phill Jupitus and Phil Wilding), Answer Me This podcast, The Collings and Herring Podcast...
Found Dave Gormans show hit and miss depending on the 'genius idea' given, good fun though.

All Time TV in no specific order:
1. Father Ted
2. I'm Alan Partrige
3. Family Guy (love simpsons but prefer FG)
4. Blackadder
5. all those comedy panel shows: QI, Buzzcocks, Have I got....etc

I'm also watching The Inbetweeners, Charlie Brookers Newswipe, Genius & Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle right now.

Moi's top 5 shows would be:
1. Flight of the Conchords
2. The Day Today
3. Brass Eye
4. The I.T. Crowd
5. Monty Pythony things.

Podcast wise the only other one I really enjoy is the Russell Brand podcast (but that's finished now for obvious reasons).

Ya I have. Thank god for the internet. Other U.K. people won't see it till may, those squares!

The song "Too many dicks on the dancefloor" is amazing! I wont say much more in case I spoil it for anyone. I will just say, 'tis great!

Another huge fan of Charlie Brooker here. But I missed last night's Newswipe bugger it! Thank gawd for the Iplayer.

Top 5 would be
1. The League of Gentlemen
2. Spaced
3. Father Ted
4. Blackadder
5. Brass Eye

Favourite comedy of all time? Easily Brass Eye, but following that?... trickier... probably The Adam and Joe Show, or Monkey Dust, or The Day Today, or Spaced, or The Office, or Screenwipe, or KMKYWAP. Too tough.

I thought The Inbetweeners started off poorly, but last week's episode (April 9th) was superb. Really looking forward to tonight's offering. Series One was criminally overlooked.

Comedy Vehicle isn't bad, but, as everyone says, the sketches really suck the life out of the thing, and are uniformly terrible.

Adam and Joe is literally the only radio I listen to, comedy or otherwise, but I listen to old radio all the time. I have 6 hours of Simon Pegg/ Nick Frost/ Karl Pilkington (Xfm), 40 hours of Chris Morris (Blue Jam, GLR, Radio 1 etc), 100 hours of Ricky Gervais/ Steve Merchant/ Karl Pilkington (Xfm, Podcasts etc) and 192 hours of Adam and Joe. It takes me 6 months to get to the start of the pile again.

I forgot to say "Never Mind The Buzzcocks". I have every episode that Simon Amstell has hosted on my ipod....so I must like it a bit.
