Also, Men Behaving Badly, The Mighty Boosh and even The Goodies are good when in the right mood. This isn't so much a comedy, but when in the mood, and possibly drunk too, Doc Martin is a cracker of a show.
The Chaser are quality too. Particularly their songs, brilliant stuff. I don't think I'll ever fully get over The Obituary Song.

When you say "Dark Place"...do you mean Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?
Fucking love that show. Funniest new shit on Adult Swim in a long time.

You can watch full shows on their websites now so they can be viewed pretty much anywhere.

That's pretty cool.
So uh yeah...those are pretty much the major news sources for teenages/young adults in the US. No joke.

He is talking about that.. I'm suprised it's taken 4 years to be shown over there.... it's Pseudo spin-off is good as well, "Man To Man With Dean Learner"

Re: What's wrong with England?
I've been away for a couple of hours and about 8 pages went by. Good to see that people like Bill Bailey, I have all three of his Tours on DVD. Bloody love them, one of my favourite comedians around.
Also, I've watched The Daily Show a couple of times and only the Colbert Report once. My friend had a video of him interviewing Sam Harris, absolutely hilarious.
