 I hardly use my TV to watch any actual TV shows.

I only watch DVD's and play games.  I do have all the sets of Seinfeld, Futurama, The Simpsons, South Park, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast on DVD though.

I usually watch Late Night with Conan O'Brien, late late show with Craigh Ferguson or repeats of Scrubs on Fox if I'm up late enough.

Caught the first season of Black Books on Comedy Central a few years ago. Really great stuff in in most of those episodes. Would hate to see what they would do with an attempt to "Americanize" it.

The one where Manny is locked in the store because of the security system, and drinks the absinth is great. And Bernard has to pass the night outside and takes a job a fast food shop just to get out of the rain, then aquits when the rains passes. I love the little bit when he yells at the two old women to get them out of his way.

Is that the same one when the female neighbor is lusting after the news reader on the radio, but only for his voice, because he's an arrogant jerk in real life. Very funny whatever episode it's in.

The only one I saw I didn't like was the one where Manny and Bernard housesit for a guy and drink up his wine including a rare bottle meant as a gift for the Pope. That one was too wacky in a bad "Lucy and Ethel" kind of way.
blah blah stuff blah blah obscure pop culture reference blah blah clever turn of phrase blah blah bad pun blah blah bad link blah blah zzzz.....

Yeah Yaddo, Fran won't answer Bernard's calls because she's too busy listening to the 'shipping reports'.  Gotta love the climax to that scene.

I've been a big fan of Black Books for a while now and highly reccomend it as well.

There is absolutely no possible way to Americanize it, without changing the whole tone of the show.  Granted, done right it would be an interesting difference ie culture and the language and the way they act.  I mean, a jerk of a store owner with a hapless employee is just gold no matter what country really, but nobody will be able to pull it off better than those two.

One favourite episode is the one with Shaun from Shaun of the Dead in it.

That would be Simon Pegg.  I'm too lazy to look up on the IMDB which show came first, Black Books or Spaced (Simon Pegg's hiliarious sitcom) but the employee in Black Books was somewhat of a regular on Spaced.  He played "Bilbo", Simon's boss at a comic book shop.  Very very funny stuff.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
