What are your favorite Comedy TV series?

That's a riot Phil! I had not heard of the series. Wonder how I missed it! When did it come out?

Reminded me of something. We were once part of a multi-company, multi-national consortium setting a technology standard. It was time to to announce our efforts so one of the American companies volunteered to hire a PR/Ad agency to create the program for us. They come back with a video they produced which like above, was set using fake German accent. Imagine the awkwardness after the presenter finished playing the video and one of our board member companies reminding them they were a (major) German company! It was like forgetting that Ford is an American company....

Amir,

LOL. That presenter must be red-faced after that.

Allo Allo came out in the early 80s, and I believe continued till the early 90s. I recall in the mid 80s I was living in a forlorn town away from my friends and my best friend was the good old TV and the Betamax. By chance I was flipping the channels and spotted an episode of Allo Allo and I almost laughed to tears on that one episode. Then for some reason, it disappeared.

This guy, Officer Crabtree, can give Chief Inspector Clouseau a run for his money. He plays a British spy posing as a policeman sent to France because he can speak French. However, he does not speak it well, resulting in constant mistranslations which is often hilarious.

Trigger Happy TV (UK version). This is the only TV show that has had me laughing to the point of tears. Most people either think it's really funny or just stupid; there's no in between. Comedy Central made a US version but it was short lived because it just wasn't funny. I would have to say that my favorite skit was the guy shouting loudly into a giant cell phone at random places.

The one that I found the best was when the main guy was dressed as a spy (trenchcoat, dark glasses) and he sat down to a woman on a park bench. He pushed a brief case towards her on the bench and asked, "Are you 'red fox'?" The woman looked confused, so he got up and walked out of view. Suddenly, someone dressed as a red fox appeared.

I guess it had to be seen. I may have the names wrong.
