Curb Your Enthusiasm

On a recent long haul flight back from the US I watched 10 episodes back to back - brilliant
(I can never sleep on planes)

 

[Beebo]

Game On
Ripping Yarns
Spaced
House of Fools
League of Gentlemen
Psychoville

...are the usual gotos

Currently re-watching Apartment 23

I'd like re-watch Friday Night Dinner soon too

Friday night dinner is very under rated imo, and Spaced is a classic.
I enjoy rewatching panel shows on Dave, my memory is so bad that i can watch repeats of Would I lie to You without remembering the lies.

Reading the old 'books you read and reread' thread got me thinking about comedy that I can watch and rewatch.
Thanks to Netflix, iPlayer and All4 I have been introducing my teenage daughter to the comedy shows of my youth. We started with Spaced and Black Books which she loved. We then tried Chelmsford 123 and thoroughly enjoyed the first couple of episodes but quickly tired of the theme. Then we tried Drop the Dead Donkey which I had forgotten was filmed in the week it was shown which was quite novel at the time but its a bit of a struggle now as all the references need context.
But the one I go back to time and again is Blackadder. Its just perfect comedy as far as I am concerned.
So what comedy shows from the past, recent or not do you revisit? What ones have I forgotten about which might be worth trying again? Are there any particular episodes which you have watched again and again?
Absolutely? Game On? The New Statesman?

Dads Army
Last Of The Summer wine
Anything featuring Les Dawson.

The Young Ones....classic.

Film, I loved Time Bandits, watched it maybe 6 times.

Both those feature the brilliant Mark Heap playing 'the weird neighbour'.

I'm Alan Partridge, series 1 and 2
I'm obsessed with it. I'll watch all episodes back to back at least 4 or 5 times a year. Maybe more.

Are You Being Served
Father Ted
Dad's Army
It Ain't Half Hot Mum

+1 for Bottom-Mayall was a comedy genius!

I know a lot of people think (& I often have this discussion at work) that it's what Laurel & Hardy would be doing if they were around in this day & age, Bottom is just 'slap-stick'

Even Chess is (pardon the pun...) 'game for a laugh'

It Ain't Half Hot Mum

Trivial nonsense #203 - Stuart McGugan used to come into my shop in the early 2000s and buy jars of jam that he would send down to Melvyn Hayes.

Anyway, back on topic:
Dad's Army
Porridge
M*A*S*H*

and that's about it.

I used to be able to watch Blackadder and Father Ted but I have tired of them.

I also used to have a huge collection of Laurel and Hardy on VHS (I probably still do somewhere) but never made the move to DVD so not watched them for a good while, over 20 years probably.
