I remember watching Game On years ago and we were having a clear out the other day and I found the DVD of it so I’ve been watching it. Love it all over again Grin

We have watched Blackadder so often dp and I know it by heart. Our children find this a challenge.

Black Books is excellent too.

SophieGiroux · 21/07/2019 23:19

Butterflies

DinosApple · 21/07/2019 23:20

Yes to Blackadder,
I love Father Ted too,
More recent Detectorists
And Mum

I keep catching Steptoe on TV when I'm flicking and it's so funny.

BackforGood · 21/07/2019 23:21

I don't get the love for 'Mum' on here.

I've watched it several times but just get incredibly annoyed that she just lets her ds (+gf) walk all over her and get to dictate what she can / can't do in terms of her relationship.

BackforGood · 21/07/2019 23:21

On MN generally, I mean, not particularly this thread

Kaiylee · 21/07/2019 23:26

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 21/07/2019 23:34

Lead Balloon is one of my favourite sitcoms of all time Davros. Criminally underrated.

Recently rewatched The Thick of It. Never gets old. Really want it to come back, would love to see what fun they could get out of of Brexit.

chrislilleyswig · 21/07/2019 23:42

Oh yes Runkle. How not to live your life. I loved Dan

Runkle · 21/07/2019 23:44

Me too! I was devastated when he announced there would be no more..

twistyturnycurlywhirly · 21/07/2019 23:55

How I Met Your Mother
Scrubs

IdaBWells · 21/07/2019 23:59

It's a bit more of a situational drama/rom-com by it is Bonus Family on Netflix. It is Swedish so you need to be fine with subtitles. The third series just came out. Very sweet/loving/funny/cringy with fantastic very believable characters and story lines.

I wonder if it’s as funny on a rewatch?

Cocolapew · 22/07/2019 00:21

Where are you watching Scrubs?

chipsnmayo · 22/07/2019 00:49

I am rewatching Frasier, found some DVDs of it when clearing out the loft (totally forgot I had them) loved it when it was released in the 90s.

DD is home from Uni and she has also got me watching Glee again (she convinced me to watch it first time round!)

1forAll74 · 22/07/2019 01:04

Dinner ladies and Rising damp.

stucknoue · 22/07/2019 01:40
