Peep Show

I think 15 Storeys High is much better than Peep Show, though. Been watching PS this week, and while it's watchable and I'll probably burn it, it's nothing that new or original IMO, while FSH was totally original telly without being at all self-consciously 'wacky'.
 
Do! It's his stand-up mixed with bits of 15 Storeys. Good stuff.

I wish he'd go back to writing-acting, rather than just making appearances on panel shows.
 
The thing I've got is two series of a radio version of the programme.

Me too, I guess he must be pissed off thatthe bbc never comissioned a 3rd series.
 
i really like the first series of Peepshow. Haven't really watched much of the other series maybe because I didn't enjoy the 2nd series as much.
 
I thought the 2nd was better than the first, but each to his/her own. Trust me it's worth watching 2-4, there are some really funny episodes amongst them.
 
I seem to be in a minority, I thought Boosh was better then Peep Show, but then I find skin crawling embarassment to be, in the main, not funny. Which is why I don't really like Howard.

I do like the Mitchell and Webb Look though, that is a funny show, so I know it isn't the comedians or their humour I don't like. Just don't like the basic premise of: Look how unlucky and shit we are, and watch how horribly wrong everything goes for us.

It is like a scripted comedy documentary about deformed kids. I feel dirty watching it and deriving any pleasure from it, so much so that it saps any enjoyment I might have got from the jokes.

Preferring Mitchell and Webb (mostly bloody awful!) to Peep Show certainly puts you in a minority :p I think there are some real heart-warming moments in Peep Show, and the depth of the characters and respect they evoke takes it beyond the usual 'comedy of embarrassment' genre.

Saw the trailer for Season 5 last night - can't wait!!
 
Season 1 is excellent, 2 and 3 pretty good, 4 starts off a little average but gets back on form about half way through. 5 looks great!
 
You know I downloaded the first 3 seasons of Peep Show, had to torrent wouldn't allow single downloads.

I couldn't finish the first episode. I remembered I had seen it at least twice previously and just didn't find anything in that entire episode funny, so I deleted em.

So you lot are tasteless when it comes to comedy, I can live with that.
 
I am supposed to be going out tonight, for the first time in ages.

I am just looking for excuses to go home for 10.30...

Blame it on poverty. If it doesn't work at least you'll be able to get a couple of drinks from it.

Does it start on 10:30 because its a bit more risqué this series?
