Yeah i find Graham Norton funny.. I have seen a few Episodes of Bottom a freind lent me them taped of tv -- I enjoyed them ... as for the rest i have never seen any of Only Fools and Horses - Red Dwarf

Two words - Red Dwarf

Funny as f*** - But I'd recommend you find the earlier series first (1, 2, possibly 3) - It kinda faded after Series 5/6, went a bit piss

Bottom's funny, as is In Sickness & In Health. Only Fools & Horses is a classic, also if you don't mind some old stuff Open All Hours or Are You Being Served? (Check out for both on UK Gold if you have it).

The game shows, I'd suggest Have I Got News For You, They Think It's All Over, Shooting Stars, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and (If you have Paramount) Shoot The Messenger - That last one, the only time you'll ever see a comedian each from Canada & Chester against each other

If you ever get bored from the British comedy, I can suggest one other great show on the BBC on Fridays - Robot Wars. Not sure if you saw similar in the US Metro but the American clones of it are mild compared to the UK version of Robot Wars (I think the UK's was the first of the kind though). Even better in that it's hosted by Craig Charles (Red Dwarf's Lister

). It isn't about races or how well you've built them - It's about beating the crap out of the other competitors as much as you can

And there's been some good destructions in the past - Considering that the Robot Wars world champion's from the UK, we've got no excuse

If you like that - Scrapheap Challenge/Junkyard Wars (Think it changed its name when it went to the States) is another must. You want to see some of the stuff that's been made in it

Surprisingly enough, it's on Discovery

"The UK - Perfect place for quality TV"

- Do I sound like a brochure now?
