Mine are: (in order)

1. The Simpsons - Superb voice acting, animation and scripts coupled with humour from intellectual level down to schoolboy level make this a class act. Genius comedy in every way.
2. Blackadder - More one-liners than Dwayne's nostrils, the recent Blackadder thread turning up many of these. Pages long yet still didn't scratch the surface. Rowan Atkinson was born to play Edmund B.
3. Monty Python's Flying Circus - The original zany madcap humour, and still the best. A sideways glance at life flipped on it's head.
4. Fawlty Towers - Only making two series seems to have given this staying power over the years, and they still crack me up, hundreds of times after having watched them.
5. Drop The Dead Donkey - Very under-rated. The show may have revolved around current affairs but it didn't stop it being hysterically funny. Pretty much launched the careers of Neil Pearson & Stephen Tomkinson.

What about yours?

HP, we share Birthdays. And it seems, a similar taste in humour.
