Favourite TV program?

**VisionIT** · Mar 8th, 2003, 06:56 PM

What's your all-time favourite(s) TV progs?

I like a mixture... but #1 has to be....
* Drum roll *

Only fools and horses

That has to be the funniest show. I don't want any plonker's to reply either

As said by the one&only David Jason (I think he's GR8) ...

Lovely Jubbly!

FUNNY MOMENT 1:
Del & Trigger at the bar staring at women (

). "Keep it cool Trig, keep it cool", shortly followed by Del leaning on the bar, or not!!! thump... classic!!!

FUNNY MOMENT 2:
Rodney..."Trigger... did you have large classes at your old school?"
Trigger..."Nope.... .... high ceiling's though"

How can anyone not like it???

Regards,

Paul.

Sorry, we/ve got a cultural divde here,,,
I do not know "Only fools and horses ",
but from its name, it sounds rally good.!

Anyways, currently, I'm into "The Dead Zone", and "Smallville".

"Smallville" is pretty cool, as to being about CC, and John and Martha, in terms of CC before he decides to beome SM!.

A Teen Angst kinda soap, but with good actors, esp the one who plays Lex!

Also, TDZ, whos star is MAH, is the highest rated cable independent show! We've got David Ogden as Rev Purdy, the actress who took the trill after Jadzia {Dax} Died from DS9, An extremely talented sidekick, whom I have no idea what his name is, and the actor who plays john's ex fiance's hubby!

Great show!!!

OK, There are more, but these are my current, LIVE favs....

**BodwadUK** · Mar 10th, 2003, 03:20 AM

Only fools and horses is a dam good program (bloody funny too)

The one with the inflatable dolls is quite funny

Tend to watch Stargate SG1 at the mo

**VisionIT** · Mar 10th, 2003, 05:32 AM

Yeah... that's a good one.

I prefer the one with the locked briefcases... and the key's inside the case!!! Or Dr Singh's paint saga... the turbanator!!!!

Regards,

Paul.

I saw "American Desi", quite a hilarious and good movie. Couldn't watch it till the end though

**kleinma** · Mar 10th, 2003, 07:21 AM

ok well smallville is a horrible show... worse than lois and clark even... i think pretty much everything on the WB network sucks, but anyways..thats just my opinion..

good shows are mostly on comedy central to me

South Park
Daily Show
Insomniac

all great shows

Simpsons is great too...

but i find most of the time i am watching history or discovery channel.. that way i dont feel as bad about sitting infront of the TV.. because at least i am learning something..

techTV is a cool channel.. i saw it when i was in maryland.. but i dont get it here

i think there is a space channel too.. i wish i got that as well

Lex's character is played brilliantly though.
Oh and superman's bit of fluff. She's a bit of all right

**BodwadUK** · Mar 10th, 2003, 07:28 AM

Superman itself was rubbish, why make a program that is set earlier

Cheers

Dennis Leary's show "The Job" was friggin great... but it got canned... I just think people didn't get the humor.. another point one of the actors made out was that the show had NO laugh track... so people didn't even realize it was supposed to be funny at first... he said "You would be surprised how many people need to be told when to laugh to get the joke" and I think that is abundantly clear with stupid shows like Friends and such, that delude the dialog of the show with laugh tracks so that the home audience knows "oh yeah that was a joke.. haha"

**Memnoch1207** · Mar 10th, 2003, 10:35 AM

Crank Yankers!!

Episode:
Special Ed Calling a record store

Ed: "I looking for the song that goes bump bump bump oooo yeah"
Record Store: "I'm not sure I know what song you mean?"
Ed: "You know bump bump bump oooo yeah"
Record Store: "It goes bump bump ooo yeah?"
Ed: "NO, it goes bump bump bump ooo yeah"
Record Store: "Bump bump bump oh yeah?"
Ed: "NO, listen to me...it goes bump bump bump oooo yeah!, now you do it, just like I did."
Record Store: "bump bump bump ooo yeah?"
Ed: "NO, BUMP BUMP BUMP OOOO YEAH!"

he has the record store person repeating it like 20 times! It's hilarious!

**techgnome** · Mar 10th, 2003, 10:48 AM

Some of the stuff was funny. But I didn't like it because the main character was cheating on his wife.
Ya, I know it's a big joke that all NY cops cheat on their wives.. but you have to like a guy to
laugh at his jokes, and that character was just an ass from my point of view.

Daily show is great!

If I recall correctly this was first used in the DD's Comedy Show, where the main character, DD is involved in an accident, uses the same method above to keep everyone occupied (including the cop) and gets out of the mess.

Cant beat comedians like Jasper Carrot and Victoria Wood

Wonder what happened to Jasper Carrot???

**VisionIT** · Mar 11th, 2003, 04:16 AM

He was beaten by the old women at the London marathon! eeeeehhhh.... arrrrgghhhh. He hit "THE WALL"!

If you didn't see that program, you'll think i'm mad!

But yeah... he's really funny.

Regards,

Paul.

Agreed, but, look at that other comedy series...
Its a few years old now at this stage, but its about a group of people during world war 2.
They're in the french resistence.

There's also an italian cop...
I'll see if I can dig up a link...

[edit]
Ahh yeah, AlloAllo

The main guy in that's cheating on his wife and trying to screw everything in sight isn't he ?
