Never was big on Mr. Bean's actor, but maybe this'll change me mind.
Oh yeah, you can recommend other UK/British/whatever stuff to watch for the list. I think I recreated it properly, but probably missed a couple.

I think I've seen a bit of Boosh -- not too shabby. I'll put it and the other one on the list.

If you end up not liking the first season very much, at least give the second season a chance before giving up entirely.

Keep in mind that the first season of Blackadder isn't great.
In fact, it struggles to reach "good" Series 2 and 4 and to a much lesser extent, series 3, is where it's at. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Speaking as a Brit, I'd have to say that how can I put this? my personal tastes wouldn't include 'Allo, 'Allo, Dad's Army, or Keeping Up Appearances. Shotgunnova, please try not to judge our output on the basis of those shows.
Crepes suggested Brass Eye. If you give that a spin and you like it, you'll probably like Chris Morris's earlier effort, The Day Today. (I'm not sure that something like Brass Eye's "Paedogeddon" episode would be green-lit for broadcast these days...!) --- Incinerate ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll add Young Ones, Brasseye, and The Day Today to the list. AYBS is one of those PBS ones I've seen some episodes of, but would like to watch the whole thing through. Not sure why I didn't put it on the list earlier. Might give HGTTU a shot, too (unless you mean the movie, which I've already seen).

Maybe the other seasons of Blackadder just kick tons of ass by comparison, but for the moment, S1 is pretty enjoyable. Just finished the second episode and rather enjoying the historical bent.

Red Dwarf is the best. Series 7 is weak and 8 is really awful. The Back to earth special is weak as well. but the newer ones are ok.

Black Adder is easily in my top five TV shows of all time. You also need to track down the Black Adder one-offs; Black Adder's Christmas Carol, Black Adder Back and Forth and Black Adder The Cavalier Years. They are all probably on youtube by now, but I bought the DVD box set and they are on that.
Also a great documentary on the inception and making of Black Adder on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi2bX2u5HpA --- "I understand that the world was nothing: a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears." - Grendel ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll watch the specials and maybe the making-of documentary later on.
About halfway through the second series now. Elizabeth I is easily the best character right now. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ... Copied to Clipboard!

Finished the second series now and onto the third! I suppose if we're changing eras with each one, we'll be at Victorian era or something.

Black Books, The IT Crowd are Spaced are brilliant. I'd add my vote to Hyperdrive. Also, Drop the Dead Donkey (about a hopeless newsroom) is old, but still relevant and funny.
If you enjoy seeing the monarchy being taken down, then The Windsors is very silly, but hilarious and up to the minute show. Three series of it now, on Channel 4. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-windsors The final episode of Blackadder is probably the best ending to a comedy series ever. --- The bells haven't stopped ringing yet. ...

Blackadder Goes Forth in general is possibly the best television seires of all time, even if there are one or two stinker episodes in its short run. Corporal Punishment and Goodbyeee are two of the best episodes of anything ever.

Father Ted was great, so that's a good decision.

Welp, that's the final Blackadder episode in the books. Definitely wasn't expecting it to end like that, after how the third series went, but it was a pretty good ending -- I can see why people like it so much. For a sec there, I almost expected Darling to go insane and shoot everyone, haha.
