I'm really getting into boxsets recently, I have really enjoyed Gavin and Stacey, IT Crowd, Peep Show, Shameless and IT Crowd... what sort of thing might I like?

i have just finished season 1 of greys anatomy not a comedy but very good (hurry up lovefilm bring me season 2)

Looks like you're asking for comedy, not drama so...

The Office US - you can get the first 3 series as a boxset cheaply, and after the first few they are different to the UK and hilarious in its own right.

30 Rock - Tina Fey's brilliant sitcom (also US)

The Inbetweeners

Flight of the Phoenix

I hear True Blood is great - sounds like a mix of comedy, drama, and horror.

If you want drama, you can't beat The West Wing... If you want war, Band of Brothers, if you want comedy then definitely, definitely Green Wing (it's the funniest thing ever!!!!!).

Father Ted, Spaced, Being Human, Pulling

The Sopranos - by the end of one boxed set me and DH were talking to each other like Noo Joisey hoodlums without even realising. Badda Bing!

Inbetweeners!

Kept us in stitches when we turned up at holiday cottage and the analogue signal has been switched off.

myproblemblob · 27/02/2011 09:52

The wire,
Lost ( I love the ending but I know many don't )
Band of Brothers
The Tudors ( currently watching season 2 boxset )
True Blood
Generation Kill

All these are serious though except true blood which has black comedy moments

I don't think I have watched a comedy boxset??

MabelStark · 28/02/2011 20:59

30 Rock and Modern Family are the only two recent comedy shows that I felt that I had to buy the box set. Have also got all 7 seasons of Golden Girls, unbelievably funny all these years later...

MadreInglese · 28/02/2011 20:59

Dexter is awesome (but very gory)

scottishmummy911 · 28/02/2011 21:16

It's been on the TV a million times but Sex and the City gets my vote

True Blood and The Wire are also brilliant

ClubPenguin · 28/02/2011 21:35

DH and I are on series 6 of House.

BringOnTheGoat · 28/02/2011 22:03

True Blood
Dexter
House
Mad Men

Six feet under - I have been watching it on Sky Atlantic. Dysfunctional family running a funeral home. Great series

Misfits!

(first series is on Channel 4 On Demand so also free)
