Isn't "British" comedy by definition "Alternative" at best :S



An alternative to the formulaic, heavy on the canned laughter track, play it safe, god help us if we offend someone output of most American channels?

Yeah, yeah it is.;)

I've never seen that :o

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Yeah he plays Dan Ashcroft in Nathan Barley :D Plays such a good role

That look sgood. I like how alot of british comedy borders on being scary like Jam and stuff like that. League of Gentleman went pretty dark too :D

Is "Little Britain" alternative ? 'Cause I like it :)
But I also like Blackadder, Allo allo and even The thin blue line :$:D ... Sure *that's* not alternative !



Little Britain has some good ideas, but not enough of them. You can pretty much only watch the first episode of each series, ignore the rest and not miss anything.

Blackadder isn't really alternative (though Rowan Atkinson definitely used to be) but it has the sharpest writing of any sitcom everB|
