I think the IT crowd is hilarious, Moss, Roy, Gen and Richmond are all great characters and it has an excellent script.

Truth. From that list Brass Eye, Alan Partridge, Garth Marenghi and Ali G are the greatest. I hated The IT Crowd. Also, The Office (original and good version), and Extras.

Monty Python, Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley, Fawlty Towers, Peep Show, The Mighty Boosh...

The only American programs that can even begin to compete are South Park and The Simpsons before series 9.

Because it isn't very good...(in my opinion, you may like it) The Mighty Boosh is awesome though. Other greats are Monty Python and the Flying Circus and Blackadder.

All these shows are great, almost forgot Harry and Paul. The Two Ronnies anyone? Plus more panel shows like Have I Got News For You, Argumental and Shooting Stars. Doctor Who is good too :)

you know I'm gonna say this... DOCTOR WHO! and watch Torchwood, but not for the youngest crowd. It's very adult... There are some bisexual, gay and heterosexual scenes, some nudity (not so much in first season) and sex, plus swearing.. but it's great.

Oh. Well even still, considering that Brits and Americans are nearly identical, you'd think we enjoy the same kind of thing. Do you like any shows from the States? (If you get any over there.)

Haha, well, I have no idea what life is like outside the States, probably because I grew up in Southern California. We've got everything you could want here and sometimes you forget that there's a whole world outside this little state. :D

I reckon life in Europe is better than in the US of A. I know I wouldn't have it any other way. I've got everything I need in Denmark and if I want to, I can get on a bus or a train and go to germany, czech republic, italy, france, spain etc etc. or fly to any other country. Lovely central place to live =3

Maybe. But it's kind of a good thing, because rather than actually being in foreign country, it's almost as if the foreign country has been brought to you.

Lazy. Where's the fun in that? I love being on roadtrips and having fun in the car with my brother, singing songs in the bus when we're on our way to the ferry, or sleeping next to strangers in a train on a 12h drive.

Ew. Everything in that sentence made me want to throw up. I can't stand my brothers and sisters, probably because I have 2 of each. Buses are lame, and sleeping next to strangers sounds terrible. Probably because I never sleep on trips, I have to stay up until we get there.

Probably not. But I could say the same to you. If we dropped you in the middle of Los Angeles, you wouldn't last the day. You'd get lost in the "urban jungle". ;)

as a former scout, I was rewarded for my good skills when traveling without a compas or a map. Your concrete jungle won't stop me *tough grin*
