I've never seen it. Might give it a try.
Tried to get into Curb like 3 times but found it too contrived.
Everyone raves about curb and parks & rec. Haven't seen either although parks & rec seems like my kind of comedy.
It's not as good as Peep Show or IASIP for instance, but I think it's better than Seinfeld and The Office (US).
Actually when I said parks & rec, I meant IASIP
Yeah I saw one ep and loved it. Will watch at some pointOk, then you simply must watch that first! There is no sitcom quite like it!
Imagine watching something, loving it and then just never watching another episode.
I want to dissect your brain.
I have a wife and we pick together. She never agrees to it!
If we're talking about great sitcoms, Veep is clearly up there.

This was on the least amount of user lists overall. Just had a look at the iMDB and it looks right up my street so will give it a go at some point. Feels a bit like The 4400 from the premise.

Disgrace. But thank you for your service.
It gets better every season. It also gets slightly less depressive, so that's a bonus.
Also the season 2 intro song is a banger.

Brilliant show. Trying to get my partner to watch it but I fear some of the religious stuff (or basically most S1 Matt scenes) will bore her. Which I wouldn't blame her for.
How’s that only on 25? I demand a recount!No. 25 - The Leftovers

Haven't seen anything about this show but always here it talked about. Might YouTube it now.
Season 1 isn't very good, but it is only 6 episodes. Possible to skip that without losing much. Gets very good in season 2, and amazing in 3 and 4.
Thank you. I like the idea of 6 eps. Low commitment and will give me a flavour of the show.
If you have commitment issues, then absolutely start from season 2. Good chance you might give up after 1 otherwise, which would be a mistake.

The ultimate all rounded comedy imo. It’s accessible, charming, clever and most importantly funny.
Yeah, I generally do with TV Shows. Don't like havingto wait 10 eps to realise I don't like it
Would you suggest this or IASIP?
Even the first season is kind of charming, albeit a bit crap.
I remember the exact episode where it finally clicked for me. It was season 2 - the "sister city" episode. Fred Armisen is just great. Viva Chavez!

Agree 100% about this episode. Prior to this episode the show was OK, worth sticking with. This episode kicked it up onto a whole new level.
The end of the episode - April and Donna vacationing in Venezuela - was the icing on the cake.

Not quite Frasier but it'll have to do. Don't kill us @HTG
Fargo is a tremendous show. It all starts when Fargo Crane moves from Boston to Seattle for his new job and his father moves in with him. In Seattle he quickly becomes a successful and well liked radio moderator, something his younger brother, Niles Fargo, is very envious of.Not quite Frasier but it'll have to do. Don't kill us @HTG
The show is well known for its jokes about psychology and its quick wit.
Is it much different to the film with Steve Buscemi?
Yeah, I generally do with TV Shows. Don't like havingto wait 10 eps to realise I don't like it
Would you suggest this or IASIP?
Both completely different styles of comedy really. Depends what you prefer. P&R ended at the right time whereas IASIP is still going and has more misses than hits these days. But probably had the best highs.
Veep, Community, Curb all lower than P+R
The 9/11 firefighter?
A bit. It’s basically a spin off. So some characters are the same. But the original was set in a bar while the show is mostly set at Fargo‘s apartment in Seattle and in a coffee shop.
Fargo
Excellent advice. I was not a fan at all when I was introduced to it starting with the first season.
