As opposed to above.
I re-watched all of IT Crowd once I got Netflix. Loved it. Along with Community the top 2 comedy series ever IMO (that I can think of). Maybe also with Young Ones, but I watched them so many times when I was younger that it no longer surprises me etc.
Edit, wait. And Spaced.
Community, Spaced, IT Crowd. Probably also Young Ones and Blackadder if your are youngish and never thrashed them.
This is exciting because I love both Young Ones and Blackadder, and I've never seen an episode of any of the other 3!
Some binging ahead methinks!

Coupling is the best sitcom ever, I often quote the pillow rant at home.
Watching it on Red-Red days in the Falklands in The Goose bar, drinking John Smiths with all the ATC lovelies - awesome!
I really liked Coupling when I watched it originally, early 2000s.
I liked it enough that I torrented it about a decade ago pre-streaming services. To watch whole series (mostly watch again, but assume I missed a few episodes). But I found it was so bad, like cringingly bad. I think I probably only re-watched S1 E1.
So, was it just early episode roughness? Does it get better? Because I remember I had genuine LOL moments when I watched it originally. I thought maybe I had just 'out-grown' it
I don’t watch it until long after it originally aired - and likely the same time I was watching shows like Community, Party Down, Parks and Rec etc and I really liked it.
Maybe your tastes have matured as you’ve aged. Or maybe you do need to give to a few eps? I’m only just making my way through Silicon Valley now because back when it came out I got bored in the first two episodes but I’m enjoying it now.

Might add Blackadder to my list to re-watch (although I have only ever watched sporadically, and probably never entire seasons)
Think I'm onto S4 of IT Crowd (love it, TR JNr is watching too) and same for IASIP (this has some good stuff, but some meh)

Can't believe that there is someone that needs to watch Blackadder for any less than the 10th time!
When you finish IT Crowd search out Toast of London for some more Matt Berry.
Warning: if you watch with your son from then on any time you ask if he can hear you will be met with

You might want to hunt out Lewis also - the follow on from Morse. It's got a complete Fox in it.

Fresh, Fried and crispy. Netflix.
This is like the filthiest porn to me. GOD I love watching people eat and their reactions, even had a thing for that man vs food guy years ago. Anyway... This has some reaaaally naughty food, pretty much all deep fried and BAAAAD, totally forbidden fruit (for me) . Excuse me...

Finished Sweet Tooth, really enjoyed it, as we neared the end of S1 it became clear it was set for at least 1 more series.
Got through the first 3 eps of The Darkside of the Ring - yikes!

Ultimate Warrior and Dynamite kid are up in season 3, fair to say they indulged in a few roids and cocaine between them.

The Jake the Snake family episode (especially the father ) is the most disturbing one I've seen so far.
Grizzly Smith, his father, an out and out pedo'.

@voodoo guess its like any comedy, you like what you like.
I am struggling through S1 of Blackadder...

Blackadder only really kicked off in S2 when they switched around the Blackadder and Baldrick characters. Atkinson being sardonic and Robinson being his whipping boy is what made it.
Just skip S1 altogether. -

There's some great bits in 1, but like Young Ones, season 2 is better

@crucial I thnk ep 3 was the only good one so far (where he was supposed to marry the Spanish Princess)
I have seen plenty of the wartime eps, and know I like them, so I will keep going.

S2 has brilliance interspersed with stupidity, S3 the same but Hugh Laurie lifts it higher.
